Further Comments on Resistive Bridges
As discussed in prior posts the NanoVNA uses a resistive bridge. They are wide band and easier to construct then the alternative bridge utilizing a directional coupler. There are excellent references

Re: NanoVNAsharp
https://www.av-comparatives.org/ has a great list of articles on tests they've performed on the most popular AV s/w. It's a nice site for research - they publish their test methods as well. For 2018,

FWIW both a fresh download of NanoVNAsharp and one from July come up clean with BitDefender, which doesn't seem to be included in virustotal scans. Quite a few antivirus companies share technology ag

Re: NanoVNAsharp
Carsten, From your statement, it sounds like you only like OS s/w. Did you compile the compiler you use to create s/w exe's? If you do, what did you use - another compiler? Who compiled that one? How

Re: NanoVNAsharp
Larry, This is a good test site. It¡¯s known that some specific AV programs have false positives for miscellaneous programs that other AV test approaches do not. It¡¯s why, for instance, Wes Hayward

NanoVNAsharp
I wanted to download the PC software, nanovnasharp from Hugen's Google drive. Tried it on 2 pcs, and both using different security programs flagged it as a potential ransomware program. Can anyone

Roger, I had a thought... I think I might try your same technique of external calibration for my original test (per the first post in this message thread). In other words, using both the NanoVNA and

Re: New to group and thoughts on Return Loss and Loss

Running Nanovnasharp on macOS with wine
I have a nanovna (black) and am tickled with the way it works. I¡¯ve been able to re tune a nice 4 Mhz wide filter for 144 Mhz that had been damaged. I have the software running under windows10 but I

Re: New to group and thoughts on Return Loss and Loss
Hi Ron, Be careful here about mixing power definition into return loss calculations. Strictly speaking the Gamma value or reflection coefficient is defined as a ratio of (V_reflected/V_incident).

Nice work. And yes there is no problem with a healthy dose of sceptisicm. Particularly when results look too good to be true :) I will double check tonight, to make sure I haven't done something

Thanks, Roger. Apologies for the extra work. Smith chart plots are attached. One is "full-view", the other is zoomed-in. Even zoomed-in, I cannot tell any difference between the two. In fact, they are
