Re: S-Parameter Plotter
I seem to have gotten everything working. The plots show a 280 kHz Murata ceramic filter with an 82 pF load on its output. The dB and group delay curves are similar to those published by Murata for a

Re: Am I in the right track ?
When you use a coaxial cable the RF current goes up and down the center
conductor and the inner surface of the coax shield. The reason I say inner
shield is that due to the "skin effect" the RF

Re: S-Parameter Plotter
Brian,
When I go to this link: http://ham-radio.com/k6sti/mu.htm
I get the message that ham-radio.com domain has expired.
Is the above link you posted correct.

Re: .NanoVNA-H v3.5_L: white screen - how do I connect USB to fix?
Maybe you have a problem with the battery.
I would open the NanoVNA and disconnect the battery.
Check if it is working. Use a meter to check if there is voltage coming out of it and what it is.

Re: .NanoVNA-H v3.5_L: white screen - how do I connect USB to fix?
You wrote in the title that the unit is: NanoVNA-H v3.5 ?
If you have somehow managed to wipe the bootloader (highly unlikely) your
only
choice left is to connect to the micro directly, using a

Re: .NanoVNA-H v3.5_L: white screen - how do I connect USB to fix?
Thanks. Clyde - but my unit is not -H; I did try the BOOTP - VDD reset, no
good, and all the other sequences mentioned.
Nothing lets me connect to the unit via USB-C.
I do appreciate the response.

Re: Erratic traces with SAA2N
R&L was where I got my SAA2N. I also contacted them about the clone issue and I didn't get a reply back, that was 2 yrs ago.

Re: Am I in the right track ?
@Dave :
Thanks, 1.86:1 was before I put the PCB into its final plastic case. Then within the case it jumped to 2.6. That's when I calculated the corresponding matching values. I've put an 8.2nHload

Re: Am I in the right track ?
Nico,
So you have two issues here...
Th first one is that you will have difficulty knowing what the impedance is near the matching network because your measuring system is affecting the results.
