Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Here is some more stuff to contemplate. I "modeled" so to speak the inductor under test, the DUT, as a perfect inductor. No SRF. I added the measured fixture parasitic obtained from the "perfectly

Re: Terminator surprises
Take a look at this: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/rf-microwave/testing-rf-connectors-and-cables/msg2644482/#msg2644482 I've ordered a $18 SOL kit from ebay. I'll be adding comparisons to the Anritsu

Re: Terminator surprises
But so much depends on what you use to perform the calibration with. To take an extreme example * 50 ohm system * Load used for calibration has an impedance of 30 ohms * DUT #1 is a resistor of 49

Re: Terminator surprises
probably it just means that you calibrated your VNA with bad terminator. So, now it shows good terminators as bad, because they are not bad as one which is used for calibration :)

Terminator surprises
I had some time and tested some terminators for fun. I thought that commercial terminators are nearly perfect, but not mine. I have a N terminator perhaps from Digikey, and It was worse than my very

Nope, I always reformat data before gnuplot so that it reads in traditional columns. Attached should be the gnuplot Smith Chart command files

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Thanks for all the feedback. First to clarify, the correction process is 2 -step for the BNC-alligator clip lash up. One is the removal of the shunt C of the OPEN clips and Two is the total series

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
WB2UAQ, Between the HP8721 directional coupler and HP 85032 calibration standard you've got some pretty expensive toys there. The NanoVNA must feel outclassed when used with them :) Herb

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Hi Alan Yes the type J pots are good. Years ago I built a K2BT noise bridge and also a Wilford Caron bridge. The pot called out for one side of the bridge was a 250 ohm type J linear pot. I still have

Re: edy555 design notes on CALIBRATION sets
Oristo, I forgot to mention that I use the NanoVna to measure return loss with good dynamic range. First I tested the S21 performance of the NanoVna with an HP 355D and found that I could measure the

Re: Installed recent firmware - was this a big mistake?
Yes, slow devices >>on the same hub<< can impact thruput of faster devices. USB is, after all, "Universal Serial Bus". so faster devices must toe-tap while slow ones (e.g. HID keyboards and mice)

Re: How does VNA get the phase angle of S11
They are mixed down for the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which arguably makes DSP harder, since it has to sort opposite side band suppression. Here is a collection of articles that I find
