Re: [Measuring] Is there an easy way to measure balun loss?
Yes. If we are trying to measure the so called TRUE INSERTION loss... |S21|. And the vna has a reasonable dynamic range, then we could build an appropriate MINIMUM LOSS PAD. It would provide a match

Re: [Measuring] Is there an easy way to measure balun loss?
Hello again Alan, Thanks for the detailed answer. I had to google for the design, I have found this website: https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/attenuators/passive-attenuator.html I have made a

Re: [Measuring] Is there an easy way to measure balun loss?
The loss relationship should be written as 1/(1-|s11|^2)... Need to check, is this a valid form for a passive transformer network?

Check the calibration load of 50 ohms.

Seems like I got errors very much like that when I installed on Mint 19.3 Cinnamon. However, I am still able to start and run it by navigating in terminal to the nanovna-saver folder and entering

Re: [Measuring] Is there an easy way to measure balun loss?
Hi Luis. Your query stated BALUN. However, if an UNUN, then a simple R pad, either PI or T with a Z value that matches the UNUN transform ratio is required. The method in either case requires a

Reseting or proving that the new nanoVNA actually works
My VNA doesn't seem to be working but occasionally, I can get a reading on it. Thinking that it might be me, is there a way to reset the nanoVNA back to it's delivered format, in case I have done

I have a nanoVNA model H, and I've been several designs that were quite clever. I am looking for an enclosure that would fit the nanoVNA model H with the addition of chassis mount PL-239's to SMA's in

Re: [Measuring] Is there an easy way to measure balun loss?
Luis, One method: Measure the return loss of the balun with the balun shorted. The return loss should be about twice the balun loss. This is similar to measuring the loss of a shorted or open piece of

Re: Calibrating to a long coax? #applications #calibration #measurement
There is another thing to be careful of, if using some of the older professional VNAs, like the 8753. The VNA transmits a signal continuously during the sweep, changing the frequency during the sweep.

Re: [Measuring] Is there an easy way to measure balun loss?
Get two of them back to back but at those impedance transformation ratios you are looking at ~20dB of attenuation per pad so that could be a problem.

Hi Larry I recommend the BNC 4 part kit from SDR Kits which covers both a male and female calibration kit. The 3 part is male only. You can only find the 4 part kit in the Web shop section. (I have

Re: Calibrating to a long coax? #applications #calibration #measurement
If that were true, nobody would ever use a VNA above DC, or some frequency very close to it. Like others here, I also have taken measurements at the end of a long coax, with good results.

I've been able to install the NanoVNA-Saver on Ubuntu 20.04 using the attached helper document. I regret to say that I forgot where I found it ... memory loss is the first sign of senility! The nice

Re: [Measuring] Is there an easy way to measure balun loss?
Hi Alan Thanks for the reply. You mean like a attenuator circuit made with resistors? I am not sure if I understood. If the unun ratio is 49:1 means that the R pad should receive on the input 2450R
