/technologies/test-and-measurement/b/blog/posts/nanovna---antenna-testingI&#39;m starting a project involving BLE Transmitter testing and I needed something to help me select some antennas to use. I&#39;ve wanted to get a NanoVNA for a while. I just haven&#39;t had a compelling reason to get one until now.&amp;nbs...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/technologies/test-and-measurement/b/blog/posts/nanovna---antenna-testingMon, 25 Apr 2022 02:18:37 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1e295d96-5ab7-4069-bf34-cdf5104572a3mp21001<p>You clearly have a 868 LoRa antenna there, ok for 915 MHz here in the US, but not great. I&rsquo;ve found a lot of variation in the abilities of the antennas I have. My nano vna is a cheap clone. I&rsquo;ll Have to look whether I can connect it to Vna-Qt.&nbsp;</p> <p>With rp-sma I have shoved a short piece of solid copper wire into the center to complete the circuit. Terrible kludge but it worked.&nbsp;</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23470&AppID=13&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/technologies/test-and-measurement/b/blog/posts/nanovna---antenna-testingSun, 24 Apr 2022 14:35:40 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1e295d96-5ab7-4069-bf34-cdf5104572a3robogary1<p>Your blog is testing antennas, but I am stuck on the amazing graphics.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23470&AppID=13&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/technologies/test-and-measurement/b/blog/posts/nanovna---antenna-testingSun, 24 Apr 2022 12:37:36 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1e295d96-5ab7-4069-bf34-cdf5104572a3shabaz0<p>Hi Ralph,</p> <p>Nice piece of kit!&nbsp;</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23470&AppID=13&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/technologies/test-and-measurement/b/blog/posts/nanovna---antenna-testingSun, 24 Apr 2022 10:29:24 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:1e295d96-5ab7-4069-bf34-cdf5104572a3Jan Cumps1<p>W2AEW, one of my favourite electronics youtubers, has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F17mN5uuzGY&amp;list=PL4ZSD4omd_AylEyNCQYR3RcEb0olukPEJ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">released a series of videos</a> for this instrument.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23470&AppID=13&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
