Re: Return Loss
Yes, I am G8WRB. The problem is return loss is *often* used as a negative number in professional academic publications. This one from an IEEE, has a particularly amusing title; Low-Return-Loss Printed

Re: Preamp noise figure (NF) measurement?
From my limited understanding of the Y factor noise measurement you only need to measure power ratio in a not so critical frequency band. Correct? If yes. The CH1 input can function as a power meter

Re: Return Loss
return loss is (almost always) a positive number. If one insists on negative numbers, just call it s11 (or s22). In essence the same property, but negative. Op 4-10-2019 om 17:20 schreef Ron Spencer

Re: Supply voltage requirement?
I think folks here are reporting 2-4 hours depending on the size and age of battery.I hear units come with 300mAH up to 450mAH batteries.? YMMV

No, "Demo" may be an historic artifact from the original author. STM makes the software freely available to encourage use of its STM32 technology. Yes, but you need that only if some other firmware

Re: Preamp noise figure (NF) measurement?
HOWEVER: The frequency steps on the NanoVNA are quite large depending on the settings. Now, with that said, maybe Rune can create an SA NanoVNA-Saver offshoot application that would perform

Re: Preamp noise figure (NF) measurement?
Hi Bruce. I see no one replied so I will make some noise! Pun intended. What FUN. Apparently some folks have considered placing the VNA into a spectrum analyzer (SA) mode. Hence, with some care you

Re: Accuracy of calculated values - Nano VNA and Saver
Hi David, your suggestion of interfacing with the HP 8753 is certainly interesting! I am going to have the code reworked at some point to accept more VNA types, so an 8753 option isn't completely

Hi David, thanks for the list! That's a lot of ways to display the same couple of numbers ;-) But I'm sure all very useful. I'll keep it around for future reference :-) -- Rune

Mike - Don't use anything else! The NanoVNA was designed to use only a 5V supply, via the USB port. The internal charge IC is both a 3.7V LiIon charger and 5V inverter combo - there are lots of

Supply voltage requirement?
Is there an on-board voltage regulator that converts 5.0V from the USB to whatever is used internally? If so, what external voltage range could be used in lieu of 5.0V from USB (but through the USB
