Allison, My previous comment to WB2UAQ was not about testing the 49:1 UN-UN wuth S21. It was about measuring the high feedpoint impedance of his 67 ft wire at 7 MHz. For high impedances like this

Larry, Impedance measurement is more indirect then measuring the transformer directly. Both get you to the same point but the big thing is you have to understand what your measuring and what that

Re: Checking 1:49 UnUn with nanovna

Roger, S21 to get it right really requires a known transformer or often easier two of the same back to back. That keep measurement in the 50 ohm domain and also allows for reasonable accuracy for loss

Extended Version of my NanoVNATutorial
Hi Rune, I want to tell you that I have added two parts to my NanoVNA tutorial: a) Part 2: the NanoVNA-H up to 1500 (1300) MHz with examples b) Part 3: the NanoVNA als TDR (= Time Domain

I recently made a video showing how to measure impedance 3 ways with a VNA including the s11, series sw1, and the shunt s21 methods. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UbEz73FGCU if interested.

Yes, the current brightness interface is very primitive. I need to provide a more friendly operation. Thank you for your suggestions.

Re: NanoVNA-H4 What are the exact steps to a
The NanoVNA originally designed by edy555 allows the use of DAC to adjust VCTCXO, but when I made NanoVNA-H, I thought that adjusting VCTCXO was too much trouble for most users, so I used TCXO. For

hwalker11 is right. The NanoVNA-H4 uses DAC output dimming, so the brightness can be adjusted using DAC commands. Dac_value = 800 is the minimum brightness, dac_value = 3300 is the maximum brightness,

Re: Checking 1:49 UnUn with nanovna

Hi Roger Using the S21 methods requires that both the source (CH0) and load (CH1) impedance are pure 50 ohm, so you get also errors this way. Have you tried to read the Rp instead of Rs in

Yes the S11 bridge method starts to get quite inaccurate after the impedance gets higher than a few hundred ohms. Fortunately the NanoVNA can do S21 measurements and we can determine complex impedance

I have tested the 1:49 transformer loss and found it to be 1 to 1.5 dB depending on the band. I checked this loss several ways with good agreement using the Nanovna. I also measured the feed point
