Re: O S L on antenna side of a balun / choke with stud terminals?
We should clarify something here regarding very short (as a function of free space wavelength) radiators. A short radiator (a short monopole or small open ended 'wires' of a transmission line)

Re: Poor Quality 50 Ohm Load - Where to get accurate ones?
Thank you Wofgang and Dave for pointing out the obvious I have two Bird type meters and slugs that have been considered to be the standard in commercial radio service for decades. They are rated at

Re: Phase of very high quality N short
Every video on the topic or all of them? What is wrong with it? As I see it he is just trying to make his homemade set behave similar to the HP one. Could you point to a better article/video about the

Re: O S L on antenna side of a balun / choke with stud terminals?
Jim's response is making some sense, I think. Ideal transmission lines and antenna wires, and ideal caps and inductors in a matching network, they should all be lossless. The primary issue with very

Re: Phase of very high quality N short
Links within the FAQ now work. thanks! I could understand the results shown in that FAQ if the VNA is calibrated using one set of O-S-L standards and the VNA is then used to measure the open and short

Re: Phase of very high quality N short
David, Having O-S-L correction factors only available in host software like nanovna-saver seems a fine solution. Though there are larger ARM processors that should have no trouble doing this sort of

Re: Phase of very high quality N short
For now I'm just hoping it will be close enough to at least somewhat improve the results. I wouldn't use them for a data-based calibration either, the idea is to maybe just fit delay and a single

Re: We started selling SAA2 with N-type RF connector and 4-inch display
Ah, I see. I was thinking about mentioning swap-equal adapters, but didn't because they are mostly obsolete and expensive. They are not exclusive to APC7 though. The nicer 3.5mm calkits e.g. tend to

Despite that discussion is now starting to get carried away from any relevance to NanoVNA (which will make this my very last post on that thread).... Apart from the skin effect - *any* load does have

Re: Poor Quality 50 Ohm Load - Where to get accurate ones?
Thanks Dave, that was exactly my point. We should take it as the wonderful and cheap tool, that opens up world of VNAs that many of us would never have been able to see otherwise. I don't think for

Re: We started selling SAA2 with N-type RF connector and 4-inch display
No, the APC7 coax cables are not necessarily connected to an APC7 equiped DUT. Typically, adapters (e.g. APC7-to-3.5) are connected to the cable ends to match the DUT's connectors, which can be N, SMA

There¡¯s too much variation from one to the other. You really need the Touchstone files of the parts you have, which pushes up production costs significantly. > However, I expect it will be much
