Re: Variation in readings of R value
Mike and Alan, I measured the loss factor for PVC and it was about 0.005 or so at 1 kHz. I did more measurements at RF but will have to go back to old note books. I made a simple fixture to test a

Re: Variation in readings of R value
Most coils have some parasitic C (it can be quite large). That C has a voltage on it, and a lossy dielectric leads to loss.

Re: Variation in readings of R value
Hi Pete. The inductor is supporting a propagating field. It is both magnetic and electric. You are correct, while the magnetic properties of a core are key to control loss, so are the dielectric

Re: Best NANOVNA Version that displays reactance, not uH & C
You can change the setting in the menu to display R+jX instead of the default R +inductance/capacitance. Roger

Re: Variation in readings of R value
Alan, How does the loss factor of the dielectric that the coil form is made from impact the magnetic circuit? I have heard others mention this but with no explanation. Thanks, Pete

Best NANOVNA Version that displays reactance, not uH & C
Good evening! I would very much appreciate recommendations on the best version of the NANOVNA that displays reactance values for the markers on the Smith chart, instead of inductance and

Re: Variation in readings of R value
Excellent Mike. So that is a Qul of 348. I spilt the difference between 6 and 8 ohms... lets say 7... From the appearance of your coil, that seems reasonable. The material you wound the unit on has a

Re: Variation in readings of R value
OK I had a go at this with my NanoVNA and got the attached result, which if I follow your calculation correctly equates to Rq = 8.05 ohms. Coil64 estimates 5.9 ohms which, given the less than ideal

Re: nanoVNA-H net com usb port
Return it and get a refund. Then go to R & L Electronics and purchase a genuine one. Problem solved!!! PS... This is the very best advise ANYBODY can give you!!!

Re: Variation in readings of R value
Alan I found the article from your earlier link and will give it a go, thanks. In the meantime I repeated my measurement with NanoVNA-App calibrated for 6401points and got a slightly lower value of

Re: Pickup Coil Construction for Inductor Measuremenfs
I had the thought to get one some time back, and started looking on ebay. It's amazing how many of these units do NOT have any of the coils with them! I know of one guy who took on one of those and

Re: Pickup Coil Construction for Inductor Measuremenfs
I occasionally see them for sale at hamfests. I have gotten a few that way, but I shouldn't have - I haven't used any yet. Not even the big, (relatively) heavy old U.S. military one. If you look for

I am using nanoVNA-H The product was purchased on Ali Express, and I thought it was genuine, but it was fake. First of all, I am a Windows 10-64bit user. What did you do to solve the problem 1.

Mike 15 ohms is not too far from what a long inductor made with small gauge wire could have. Q of about 143. Pete

Re: Variation in readings of R value
Mike, Scratch that idea about the scales because it doesn't work the same at 4 MHz where the Z should be about +j503 ohms.
