Re: Very poor thru (barrel) supplied with NanoVNAs
In addition, the newly released NanoVNA-H reduced the RG174 cable from 30cm to 20cm to reduce the loss. If I make a VNA with a frequency higher than 1GHz, I will use the RG316 cable. On large VNAs in

Re: Very poor thru (barrel) supplied with NanoVNAs
Hi, Thanks for the answer, I didn't expect to get a lab weighing station :-) Only a few days that see, the duality on the cable labeled it. Its mechanical size is closer to 1.5C-2V. One question for

Comparing the reading results between N1201SA and nanoVNA
Hi, The reading results are similar between RF Vector Impedance Network Analyzer N1201SA and the nanoVNA/nanoVNAv1.03b4.1 during Mobile Antenna SWR testing. The length of the RG-58 coaxial cable of

Re: Very poor thru (barrel) supplied with NanoVNAs
Yes, some manufacturers also provide 75 ohm RG174 cable. The RG174 cable provided by NanoVNA-H is 50 ohm. I have checked the parameters of RG174 and RG316 cables. They are not ideal at 1 GHz.

Re: Very poor thru (barrel) supplied with NanoVNAs
You cannot believe marking, this is just some noname cable with any marking on it :) The cable that I got with NanoVNA is marked just as "RG174 ROHS". But it has some high mismatch, because I measure

Re: Measuring Q
If you measure Z11 using S11 then the Q is given by fc/ BW where BW is taken between |Z|/Sqrt(2) points on your frequency plot. Or alternatively taken between +/- 45 degrees on the phase plot.

Re: Very poor thru (barrel) supplied with NanoVNAs
You're right in order to compare S11, there is need to perform OSL through cable. See measurement in attachment. Now rg174 looks almost the same, but still has worse performance. :)

Re: Very poor thru (barrel) supplied with NanoVNAs
Hugen, if you don't believe the caption, then it's really 50 Ohm from another manufacturer, but for Chinese it's 75 Ohm. See CABLE & WIRE.pdf at https://oyaide.com/catalog/products/p-534.html or
Re: Very poor thru (barrel) supplied with NanoVNAs
You should calibrate at the end of the cable and the difference in the picture measurements you show is caused by the cable length, not the cable quality.

Re: Very poor thru (barrel) supplied with NanoVNAs
Hello I also got the nano with a RG174 cable, which according to the label and the datasheets is 75 ohms. Thus, 75 Ohm and 50 Ohm cables are compared. Oooops

Re: Very poor thru (barrel) supplied with NanoVNAs
That's Wrong. You cannot cancel bad cable effect with calibration. You can only reduce it for a little. For example, here is calibration+measurement performed with rg174 32 cm (which come with
