Re: New to group and thoughts on Return Loss and Loss
In my early career I had the wonderful opportunity to work, in sales, for HP. Back before it was Agilent or Keysight. Back when Bill and Dave were alive and running the company.? They spent a great

Re: New to group and thoughts on Return Loss and Loss
Indeed. Do a web search for "is return loss positive or negative". You'll turn up lots of forums in which to pontificate. Short answer: It's done both ways, and nobody finds this confusing. But they

Re: New to group and thoughts on Return Loss and Loss
Return loss is a very old term used in the telephone industry for a very long time. There is confusion about the sign, but the negative has been used as long at the term return loss has been in use.

Re: New to group and thoughts on Return Loss and Loss
This is all about definitions. The reflection coefficient, gamma, has both magnitude and phase values and is defined by greek letter RHO. The value of RHO varies between 0 to 1. Return loss is defined

Re: New to group and thoughts on Return Loss and Loss
A loss is a negative gain. So, saying a return loss is negative simply means you are expressing that loss as a formal gain. Don't overdo the besserwisserness of your insights. Den ons 21 aug. 2019

New to group and thoughts on Return Loss and Loss
Interesting topics being discussed. I was surprised to read that the RL from a short or open is 12.XXXdB. That just isn't true, ever (assuming, of course, lossless feedline/ connectors). Its 0. Always

It worked! Thank you very much. My workaround was to use zplots: https://ac6la.com/zplots1.html All the best!

Strange phase readings using nanoVNASharp
Hugen, I was looking at a signal using your PC nanovnaSharp application and as I moved the cursor along the waveform, there was an abrupt change in phase that did not match the scale. I have added a

"When using NanoVNA v1.03 and I hover the mouse on top of the traced line, the result is a flickering rectangle with some data inside." Try holding down the ALT key. This works good on my Win7 system.

Re: Idea for a bracket for mounting N connectors
I've uploaded some rough dimensions (in mm) for the NanoVNA in the Misc photos section ( /g/nanovna-users/photo/93569/0?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0 ) as well as a file containing drawings of

If the VSWR of a load is good from DC to its rated frequency and the connector within specification (much harder to check, but possible), then the load is okay. It doesn¡¯t matter if the resistance

Hi Vidas, I agree, for $50 the NanoVNA is a heck of a tool! I purposefully set the 8753C to use the same number of points as the NanoVNA (101 points), so both instruments use the same set of
