Re: Some basic load measurements
There is no second harmonic from the square wave of the Si5351, only the 3rd and 5th harmonic.? Also if you look at the specs of the SA612 it's only up to nominally 500MHz. The latter is pushed way

Possible bug?
I'm using the latest FW 08_02_19 800_ch version. I have a possible bug. Set sweep range: Start 46 MHz Stop 54 MHz Then set Marker | Center. You'd expect the marker to be a 50 MHz, but instead it's at

Re: Some basic load measurements
Elaborating: The "measurement range" quoted by the manufacturer is the range between the displayed carrier level and the displayed noise level. That range deteriorates from 300 - 600 MHz because the

Re: NanoVna Parts
Jim, Go to your local thrift store or recycling depot (or junk box) and look around the electronics section for portable devices that might use that type of switch. A lot of MP3 headphones use them.

Re: Some basic load measurements
So is the vendor lying when the manual says:Measurement range: 70dB (50kHz-300MHz), 50dB (300M-600MHz), 40dB(600M-900MHz);Port swr <1.1 Frequency error <0.5ppm?Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Re: NanoVna Parts
Is true its handy to have that switch working, but you can still fully operate the nanovna without it. Everything from the touchscreen can be done, including drag and drop the markers... Cheers! LL

Hi Oristo This looks great! Really helpful. I have spotted a couple of differences between it and what I'm seeing with the 2 trace antenna analyser firmware on my Nano. I believe the 2 trace version

Re: Problem with shorts and load in cal kits
Dave, I solved this to some extent by cutting screwdriver slots in the back of the short and load, allowing the contacts to be held (somewhat) steady while the nut is tightened. It is a bit awkward to

Re: Some basic load measurements
The error mathematics for a one port VNA measurement with SOL is interesting to investigate. Given the assumption that the short and load are handled as ideal with reflection coefficients of -1 and 1,

I made some further measurements using the 8753 setup. I did the OSL cal on one port and looked at both the Smith chart as well as S11. I didn't bother with the cheap BNC load.? I used averaging (16)
