Re: vna isolation calibration
Best results are to terminate both channels with a good 50-ohm load. However, this afternoon, I went through the full cal for other purposes and got -90 dB on return loss measurement to about 50 MHz

Re: vna isolation calibration
is correct if you only have one 50 ohm load .. If, on the other hand, you have two 50 Ohm loads, it is right to load both ch0 and ch1 with a 50 Ohm load. -- *73, Lucio I0LYL Rome, Italy*

vna isolation calibration
Hi all am i correct in thinking that when i get to do the isolation cal,i put a 50 ohm load on ch1 and leave ch0 open?,just to clarifie,cheers all in advance.73

HI-Z EVALUATUTION - MEASURED DATA COMPARISON with HP 8753C
OK.....I just had to do it. NANOVNA-F measured data compared to the HP 8753C measured data. Subjects are: 1) 220-ohm 1/8-watt 10 % 2) 470-ohm 1/8-watt 5 % Both VNA's were calibrated SOL. Measurements

Re: nanoVNA Maximum Impedance Measurement (Folded Dipole example)
I agree with Kurt that the NanoVNA's inaccuracies above 300 ohms are not that bad. I had the same frustrations with an HP Agilent 8753C Network Analyzer with 85046A S-Parameter Test Set. Once you get

Re: nanoVNA Maximum Impedance Measurement (Folded Dipole example)
Hi WB2UAQ I do not agree the NanoVNA is that bad but rather think you measurement setup is bad and for tht ametter the calibration. You might forget that if you read the R+jX with the NanoVNA the

Re: nanoVNA Maximum Impedance Measurement (Folded Dipole example)
There are a few reasons why the NanoVNA is not that accurate for high impedance. 1. The resistive bridge doesn't do a great job at exploiting the dynamic range of the SA612 mixer. The maximum input

Re: nanoVNA Maximum Impedance Measurement (Folded Dipole example)
I found that above 300 ohms or so the nano has trouble with accuracy. I used a GR-1606-A to measure an impedance and then compared that to the nano and as the Z got higher the accuracy diminished.
