Re: Testing a helix antenna?
Thanks for the reply, but what's confusing me is that, looking at the results of the VNA, this appears to be a 9cm antenna.

Re: 50Mhz 3 element Yagi SWR results quite different from NanoVna predictions!
Hi Marco,
your measured file looks like measured directly at the antenna. But running antenna with you rig, you need a cable with connectors. So take a look at that cable and connectors and make a

50Mhz 3 element Yagi SWR results quite different from NanoVna predictions!
Hi,
just received my nanoVNA H4 and after a few satisfactory tests, decided to use it to fix my 3 element 50Mhz yagi which presents a little too high SWR on FT8 frequency (50.313Mhz).
The SWR

Re: Testing a helix antenna?
OK, having the first turn near the reflector is one technique to get a 50 Ohm match.
?You may try moving it a bit closer to the reflector while watching 2.4 GHz response.?
Next is that

Re: Testing a helix antenna?
Thanks for the reply, attached are some photos. Note this was sold in the UK as a 13cm antenna (I think by Sandpiper, but I may be wrong), many years ago.
I've never actually built a helix design

Re: Testing a helix antenna?
Over the years I have tested over 100 Helix antennas on my antenna range,and only about 10% had forward gain and were circularly polarized.
The Kraus formulas are overly optimistic and do not allow

Testing a helix antenna?
Have been testing various antennas on my NanoVNA V2 Plus4 and in all but one, the results appear roughly as expected.
The one that doesn't is a 2.4GHz helix, which shows a very poor match there and

Brent,
Please browse the forum Wiki and Files sections.
You will find PDFs and links to various User Guides that detail the flashing process and other neat stuff about the nanovna.

Thanks, John. I thought it might be something like that. And I've learned a

Full set of plots for my current setup I am pretty sure they show the gypsy antenna is not that good now to find a way to improve it.

Re: Mystery Push Button Switch on the Side
Brent,
My NanoVNA has a couple of circuit pads at that location (VDD and BOOT0). When shorted together at power-up, they cause the NanoVNA to enter DFU mode for firmware update. I suspect your unit

Re: RF from outside - Did I brick my nanoVNA-H?
There's 20dB of attenuation between the external port and the mixer. More likely a overpower situation would blow up the resistors in the attenuator before it cooked the mixer. The series resistance

Re: RF from outside - Did I brick my nanoVNA-H?
Bruce:
You might have caused the AD602 devices to open, as they have almost zero
protection, aside from a capacitive input.
The level of R.F probably killed them.
The devices are readily available,
