Re: Pickup Coil Construction for Inductor Measuremenfs
The nano can measure inductance all by itself, too. Or, at least give you the impedance at the frequency you are measuring with.
And the recent -H firmware versions have a specific "find resonance"

Re: S11 ? if Zc complexe
Thank you very much for your explanations.

Re: Pickup Coil Construction for Inductor Measuremenfs
It's hard to measure an assembled trap (or measure self resonance of a coil) with traditional 1 or 2 port fixtures, because the fixture is part of the system. I suppose you could develop some

Re: Pickup Coil Construction for Inductor Measuremenfs
I am measuring traps in a bandpass filter in circuit for tuning the filter. I have created some pickup coils that "sort of" work but I am looking for an improved solution. I'm using the Nanovna to

Re: Outliers in group delay measurement
Can you measure just the area where the spike is. I have had odd readings when the scale has been too coarse, and have missed some retails..

Re: Inductor model
Equivalent circuit=Spice model is not same as impedance. VNA gives you impedance, Coil64 and https://www.g3ynh.info/zdocs/magnetics/part_1.html give you equivalent circuit. Or an approximation of

Re: Pickup Coil Construction for Inductor Measuremenfs
I hope this is not a silly question, but where do you need GDO, if you have a VNA? That is, you can measure coils and capacitors with VNA. Measuring resonance frequency is bit harder, because Q gets

Re: Pickup Coil Construction for Inductor Measuremenfs
Hi Bob
If you look at /g/nanovna-users/message/33324 you will see a picture of a pickup coil I made. It's 5 turns of 0.9mm enamelled copper wire on a 20mm diameter PVC former. This

Pickup Coil Construction for Inductor Measuremenfs
There have been references to pickup coils to use the Nanovna as a GDO. Since I have zero experience with a GDO and have a need to measure some inductors, could someone provide some specifics on

Re: Connecting NanoVNA, antenna, and manual tuner
Using a smith chart VNA with a manual antenna will be an eye opening experience. You will never want to go back to the hunt and peck method of the three controls.

Re: Connecting NanoVNA, antenna, and manual tuner
Steven,
[Transceiver], [Tuner], [Antenna] = [Nano], [Tuner], [Antenna] Set up if you wish to use your tuner to "adjust" your antenna resonant point with your Nano.

Connecting NanoVNA, antenna, and manual tuner
Hello all,
I would like to connect my NanoVNA, antenna and manual tuner (MFJ-969).
I can connect the nano and antenna but am not sure how to bring in the tuner.
An example of what I am trying to do

Re: Inductor model
I moved the coil away until the frequency of the dip remained steady then moved a bit further. The vertical scale is 0.01dB/div so the dip is perhaps not as large as it seems.

Re: NanoVNA with bigger screen
Pedro,
You write "I have a nanoVNA S-A-A-2 which is useless because it doesn't measure Rs orXs independently in S21 mode, only measures impedance complex."
Recent firmwares from DisLord provide what

Re: Inductor model
Looking better but you still have a large dip. Keep moving further apart until you can barely see it and record the dip frequency as you go.

Re: Inductor model
I'd think somewhere between 18.082620 and 18.085096, because that's where the imaginary part goes through zero.
