Re: Measuring Q
This is the trace I got measuring Q using the nanosaver software in s11, not sure how to interpret the data... as far as loaded vs. unloaded Q goes, the device sends ASK data though the coil, so Q

Re: Measuring Q
You can measure Q factor in the NanoVNASharp MOD v2: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4881#p12354 Just open Series RLC screen and move mouse around graph, you will see Q factor for

Re: Yet another NanoVNA PC app
Hi Nick - Getting VNAR4.3 connected to nanoVNA is tricky even on Windows Thpse settings do not affect communication to nanoVNA. Has anyone used VNAR4.3 with nanoVNA on Windows XP?

Re: Measuring Q
The S11 and S21 method you mentioned will give you the loaded Q. For the unloaded Q it is more tricky especially if the Q is very high. For the latter I use a loose coupling method that can measure Q

Re: Measurement challenge
That¡¯s interesting. You can see the design, which is completely open source hardware and Impressive The VNA is most stable when there is a warm-up period of about 15 minutes

Re: minimum frequency interval
It is e.g. for me Documented limits would IMO be even nicer, helping prospects consider whether nanoVNA minimum frequency steps are appropriate for them.

Re: Calibration Procedure
I downloaded v1.1 of the Calibration Procedure and all is well until I get to Note 21. When I connect the two ports together, my Blue Line is at the very top of the chart and the readout fluctuates

Based on e.g. IBM's experience with PC Jr, I am not optimistic. Many tech fans seemingly want to avoid being perceived as naive. It can also lead to misinformation epidemics, but anyone could start a

Re: minimum frequency interval
Frequency stepping in the current firmware is done only with the SI5351 Early firmwares explicitly rounded the requested frequency to multiples of 100 making it impossible to do small steps The

Hi Dick. The readout fluctuates around 10 dB. That is a significant movement. I would make sure the cables are making a snug connection to the female adapter. Perhaps the cable on channel 1, CH1 is
