The tracking generator will give you only a scalar network analyzer - no complex measurements and no Smith Charts, no complex reflection coefficient and...... With the NANOVNA, you get it all except

There are also several good, simple to highly technical, tutorials on the Smith Chart in the archives on this group. They should be there as I've placed a few there. Dave - W?LEV wrote: -- *Dave -

Stereo Separation Alignment FM Radio - Is this possible with TinySA?
I understand that there are no plans for the signal generator in the TinySA (I have the Ultra version) to gain the functionality of modulating the carrier with an FM stereo composite signal. Is there

Removed it. 600mVpp vs 130mVpp before (10MHz@-7dB coming from tinySA).

Re: Signal level too low

A first test will be to remove the switch and check if the signal level at the input jumps up to the level without any load. This will prove the ESD protection diode is not causing the problem -- For

Re: Signal level too low

You are almost correct The switch is for the LNA but the signal path is bidirectional so if the switch is bad (e.g. creates 10dB loss) you will see this loss also when doing output -- For more info on

Re: Signal level too low

I think (I may be wrong, as a beginner) that the switch is for IN/OUT. If that is the case, I can replicate the 10dB error by doing the reverse: generate a signal with the Ultra and read it on tinySA.
