Re: Proper way to measure length of _Window_Line_?
I'm wondering if the correct way to measure the length of window line with a NanoVNA is fundamentally different than that of measuring coax. I'm following the method described by Arie

Re: S21 port not working
The front end of CH1 just contains some resistors and SA612 mixer. Try looking there for damage first.... Shown here >>> https://postimg.cc/Z9R4zNTw Full schematic here >>

I also recently purchased the AURSINC SAA-2N v2.2 which I believe to be the same internally. I loaded DiSLord's "V2 480x320 v1.1.00.bin" and had some difficulty getting the screen re-inverted but got

Best Firmware Update for NanoVNA V2?

I recently purchased a NanoVNA V2 because it has the extended frequency range to 3GHz. The firmware version is well over a year old (see attached photo) and was wondering if there are any recommended

Re: S21 port not working
This is a H4? Original NanoVNA RF design, just with a bigger screen? The first thing after the CH1 input is a resistive pad (I can't remember how many dB, but something like 17-20 dB). I would have

Re: S21 port not working
I¡¯m no wiser after these posts. S21 does not work as not able to calibrate it. It has gone bad. Overload. Is there a fix? I¡¯m measuring gain of a LNA as I have done many times and now the port is

Re: Proper way to measure length of _Window_Line_?
Has anyone wound a high common mode impedance 1:1 balun with 50 ohm coax and calibrate at the output end of the balun? I made a balun years ago for use with GR Z bridges (GR 1606 and 916) for this

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
What I wanted to say here is: A quarterwavelength at 500 kHz = 150m electrical. A 1/4 wave physical cable with VF=0.78 would then be 150 x 0.78 = 117m long or with a VF of 0,66:? 150 x 0.66 = 99m So

Re: Proper way to measure length of _Window_Line_?
I've measured windowline many times using the NANO - something I can not easily accomplish with the HP 8753C. Be sure the NANO is not connected to any conducting cabling, chargers, USB cables, or

Re: Need help with SD card problems
David, The SD card routines have been tweaked to work with most TF cards in SPI mode. Unfortunately, not all cards support that mode of operation. Most newer cards do support SPI mode.

Re: S21 port not working
Yes, I'd put the 20 dB pad on the UUT output (i.e. the CH1 port, not the CH0 port).? Then you do a calibration (with the pad in place).? Measure your UUT, add 20 dB to the S21 magnitude. You could

Re: S21 port not working
I think Jim was saying two things: 1) Calibrate it normally and then measure a known device, like e a 20dB attenuator, and see if you get a sane result. 2) If measuring a (say) 20dB amplifier, put

Re: S21 port not working
If you check with a thru and/or a pad, do you get the right values (i.e. did you not damage anything). You can put 20 dB attenuation at the output of your amplifier under test. Calibrate (Short, open,
