NanoVNA Calibration

[@bevo65]

This is the best NanoVNA tutorial on KZbin. Thanks and bravo!

So, that is indeed the basic full calibration. However - for any real world use, you would first set your stop, start, and center frequencies under the Stimulus menu and THEN do these Calibrate steps This video is not incorrect...it simply doesn't cover that part, and likely isn't intended to. I'm mentioning that here for anyone with less experience who thinks this is the complete setup start to finish, to check an antenna or some often-asked-for task like that. So again - set Stimulus, eg desired frequency range. - then calibrate. You may also want to set traces to match desired data displayed, eg VSWR or Smith or Return Loss.

That's a good point, because it means your calibration gets scrambled when you tinker with the frequency settings.

Great job! A no nonsense and straight to the point explanation!

[@enzed1190]

absolutely agree, to the point, clear and concise. Excellent presentation!!

[@oobihdahboobeeboppah]

right to the point! thx

Tnx !

Hello, you sure about ISOLN, what is the logic behind that? Because oficial tutorial says that "If there is only one load, connect the LOAD standard to port1( CH0 ) , the port2( CH1 ) can be left unconnected."

[@jamesnagel2872]

I doubt it matters much. The whole point is to just ensure that no signal from CH0 makes its way to CH1. If you can give a compelling use-case where the distinction makes a difference, I'd like to see it.
