NanoVNA Dynamic Range Test


 

Hi all,
please find attached a dynamic range test of the NanoVNA with several DC-18GHz precision SMA attenuator.
Prior to the test I performed a fresh calibration.
I think the result leaves some room for discussions!

This measurement clearly shows why doing an isolation test hides the limited dynamic range of the nanoVNA and you are better of not doing isolation calibration.
When not doing isolation calibration you measurement of S21 without any connection between CH0 and CH1 will give you a clear indication of the dynamic range.
And when measuring a filter you will also see the limitations of the nanoVNA
