Re: Firmware with arbitrary scan length
On professional VNAs, stimulus source is calibrated for flatness on factory with a bolometer. On nanoVNA you can't control stimulus output power, so we should probably calibrate the audio codec gain

Re: NanoVna Menu Scroll Switch Repair Replacement?
It's been my experience what I've had problems with a vendor that they beg you to give them a positive report if they fix the problem. And generally they will jump through hoops to do it. Have a

Re: Analyzing Noise versus Leakage on CH1
David, For your reference here are the FFT's of the audio signal from CH1 while connected to CH0 at various frequencies. 50 MHz, 299MHz, 1200MHz and 2100MHz, all with offset of 4kHz Next the isolation

VNA Help for microwave analyzers
I use this SW for many tasks and interface via the HPIB bus to load calibration tables for my VNA(s). There are tips and application notes and excellent information at this site. The SW is free down

Re: NanoVNA Saver
I've been happily using the NanoVNA and various versions of "Saver" for a lot of projects lately, but some were just motivated by curiosity about the device. Unfortunately I have no other analyzer to

Re: Using nanoVNA to measure the directivity of a directional coupler
tuckvk3cca, Thanks for the feedback. I finally was able to find a directivity specification of 20 dB minimum for the Narda 3060-20 on the web, which is in agreement with my measurement made using the

Re: Advice sought on specific measurement.
For evaluating cables I normally just do a S21 log measurement, which is somewhat of a "catch all" test for losses due to impedance problems, cable defects etc. I only calibrate with a "through"

Re: Will a nanoVNA work above 1500MHz?
Further investigation did show the dsp algorithm fails to detect the intended signal but locks on a different harmonic so only thru measurement with a filter that removes unwanted fundamentals and

Re: Using nanoVNA to measure the directivity of a directional coupler
30dB is rather low for 10MHz. I can get 53dB at 10MHz and 37dB at 35 MHz but this was not measured with the nanoVNA.

Re: Using nanoVNA to measure the directivity of a directional coupler
At step 3 you can also use a shorted load. Then you have directivity for short. The two should be close about 0.5 dB. Also reverse IN and OUT to check symmetry.
