Re: measuring resistors
You will get much better results if you calibrate using the clips as the "reference plane". You just clamp them in a fixed position a short distance apart and then use a shorting wire, an open and a

Or, even better, designing the circuit so it doesn't rely on undocumented behavior.

Re: measuring resistors
Certainly in production you can run into problems relying an unspecified characteristic of a component. Those characteristics may be different from different vendors and may become different from a

You do not have to talk me out of soldering to the CPU. I am really not trilled to do that anyway. As far as model number - the battery seem to be "superguled" with sticky tape ( ?) so I did no

Re: measuring resistors
Such is part of the art in electronics. But if a designer wants to get an advanced degree in electronic art, then he also needs to match the composition resistor's long-term drift to that of the MMIC!

Re: 340 MHz Dipole - Calibration at Transmitter and Antenna Ends of Transmission Line
Is it possible that your coax is not really RG-58A/U? I created an EZNEC model of a free space 340 MHz inverted vee. The element lengths and angle between them were optimized for a 50+j0 ohm feedpoint

Re: 340 MHz Dipole - Calibration at Transmitter and Antenna Ends of Transmission Line
Certainly, the feedline can act as an impedance transformer - but it's also a phase shift. In particular, it will change the phase of the reflected wave. Let's say I have an antenna that is resonant

Re: Bug in 0.50 FW for H 4
Why you think it bug? NanoVNA use 5k IF for measure (this firmware). But as it VNA and not SA - not need add filter for mirror supression. So you see main IF peak and mirror 5+5kHz

Re: 340 MHz Dipole - Calibration at Transmitter and Antenna Ends of Transmission Line
Frank - Thanks for the comments and information. The calibration for the first attachment was the standard Open, Short, and 50 ohm Load calibration done at the Channel 0 SMA connector on the NanoVNA.

Bug in 0.50 FW for H 4
A 10 MHz input to CH1 produces logmagnitude plots with peaks at 9.990 and 10 MHz. Source is a tinySA w/ a 40 MHz BP filter. Clean to within what my 8560A can detect :-) Have Fun! Reg

Re: 340 MHz Dipole - Calibration at Transmitter and Antenna Ends of Transmission Line
That W1DX article appeared in QST three times, November 1991, April 1977, and March 1956. There is a lot of misinformation about transmission lines/SWR in the amateur community and I suspect ARRL

Re: 340 MHz Dipole - Calibration at Transmitter and Antenna Ends of Transmission Line
I'm curious if you first calibrated the transmission line with a 50 ohm load at the far end. Does the transmission line come away from the antenna perpendicular to the elements? A half-wave dipole
