Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
Looks useful. Have you used it with nanoVNA tests? Kind regards Ed, G8FAX

Measuring characteristic impedance of shielded twisted pair
#nanovna-h4

#matching
Hello - Totally new to VNA here... I want to measure the characteristic impedance of 120 ohm shielded twisted pair wire. I know that you can measure it for 50 ohm coax using the NanoVNA but I wondered

Re: checking inductance
Long enough for the synthesizers to stabilize, then capture ADC samples of the 5kHz output from the mixer for the receivers. A few milliseconds. Sure, it's pulsed, but the reason I describe it as CW

Re: checking inductance
Sorry, my mistake. How long does the CW signal last, at 101 measurement points? I thought that length would be called a pulse. (In my Air Force AC&W radar technician days, a 6 millisecond transmission

Re: Correction of error introduce by a transmission line connect to the VNA port 1
Rather than cutting the cable, you should calibrate with the cable attached to the nanovna, attaching the calibration standards at the other end of the cable, using connector adapters if necessary.

with a 60 db attenuator inline you could measure a 60 db amplifier ... but in priciple you are right ... not really built for used inline after a rig ... but inline after an amp (with proper

Re: Correction of error introduce by a transmission line connect to the VNA port 1
Hello Siegfried, Thanks for your response. So If I cut more of my cable could I reduce the number of circles (the phase shift)?. I struggle to correct the delay with a lot of circles. Best regards.

Re: SMA to banana binding post
500 mate/demate cycles is typical spec sheet number, but I'd say that there are plenty of SMAs that have seen a lot more cycles and are just fine, as long as they're not bent or damaged. There's a

Re: Low pass filter
Your filter looks fine, no funny stuff in the response. You might try expanding the scale of the S21 trace downwards to see how far down you can see the harmonic attenuation. 73, Don N2VGU
