Re: LNA Design Using S Parameters

 

Well one more time... sorry...

you can forward material to david at worldradiohistory dot com.

Guess my format is not appropriate in this message.


Re: LNA Design Using S Parameters

 

Again his address is...

david@...


Re: LNA Design Using S Parameters

 

The excellent resource is at

world radio history.com

You can reach David for contributions of material at

Re: LNA Design Using S Parameters

 

Thank you.

Can you give a link or contact info?

Re: LNA Design Using S Parameters

 

Would be interested in a scan of the document if one becomes available.

I have a scanner if the recipient doesn't.

Changed a few known working cables, but no luck.

Frustrating!

Hi Frank. No, neither. Not an EB or an APP note. I will email you direct.


Re: "Bricked" after attempt to update FW #nanovna-v2 #firmware #crash #newbie #flashing

 

I feel your pain.. I had a similar occurrence with an alleged NanoVNA from an apparently Chinese vendor but shipped from stock in US. Although it was sold as a NanoVNA it was delivered with a NanoVNA-H firmware load that may have been modified. It could not be recognized in analyzer mode and registered as an unrecognized device. I was unable to get the driver updated.. So I figured I'd try a different fw load. IT was recognized in DFU mode and uploaded the fw but then I could not get the computer to recognize it in DFU mode. There was no DFU mode in the menu any more. I tried putting it in DFU mode by holding down the jogwheel when powering it up and also by using the jumper when powering it up. In both cases it gave the white screen indication of being in DFU mode but the computer would not even realize that it had been plugged in. To top it off the analyzer was messed up, showing SWR dips at the wrong frequency, as compared to the meter on my transceiver. I tried it on two computers with three different cables, all with the same result. Buyer beware - be sure you know what your hardware is before loading a new fw. I have also read that you need to run a command to clear the device prior to loading fw, but I don't know if that is necessary or even desirable.

Hi AlanWas that is the RF Data Book? Do you have an AN number or EB number.? If neither, I would like a copy

Good morning to all you good folks on this forum;

I bought it on Aliexpress and it's dubbed
"S-A-A V2 Pro 4 inch GS-400"
Worked fine for a number of years.
Foolishly attempted to update FW to try to get 401 points...
Bang crash !!! - White screen of death - "USB not recognized" (Device Manager)
Broke out my trusty STLINK V2 dongle, identified SWDIO, SWCLK etc on the device and tried to reflash a new bootloader
(using STM32 Cube Programmer , which does successfully identify the MCU - so it;s not "dead".)
All attempts have failed - tried every bootloader under the sun - "USB not recognized" every single time

STM32 Cube programmer can successfully flash the .bin files into the MCU but somehow the MCU doesn't respond appropiately.
Tried to blink PA6, PA7 LEDs ( there are some empty pads on the PCB) without success (Several Blue pill's PC13 on the other hand respond perfectly)
It's not the USB cable - tried several ones known to work fine on other devices.
I'm stumped. Any help ?




Re: LNA Design Using S Parameters

 

No problem. I found you on QRZ.com.


Re: "Bricked" after attempt to update FW #nanovna-v2 #firmware #crash #newbie #flashing

 

and some use gs32 intead the stm32 ... and some use a different screen (2.8 and 4 inch on the morket not counting in one unit that comes with? fat 7 inch display)

and you will find units with an open fw or units with a special bootloader and a heavy different fw

all need a "modded" fw to match the used hw

so at first you have to know what fw you need for your device ... may it be a clone, cousin, sister or brother or a genuine unit

(are they not all clones?!? no flamethrowings pease)
