The NanoVNA Saver software is an open-source project that enables the user to control a NanoVNA from a PC with the ability to do finer grain data collection and processing that you are not capable of on the NanoVNA itself. You can print your own SOL calibration organizer by following the Thingiverse: NanoVNA SOL Cal Kit instructions, and buying the required cal kit. This allows me to quickly perform calibration on my NanoVNA V2 when the ports are extended with SMA cables for easier component testing. I created my own calibration organizer for a female SMA SOL cal kit. These will still calibrate our VNA but might not have the same level of precision as higher-end kits. These calibration kits, or Cal-Kits, can be extremely expensive when purchased for high-end VNAs but following the same price parameters as the NanoVNA V2, we can purchase cheaper kits. This calibration is performed using Short, Open, and Load electronic components that have been verified to have known performance at various frequencies. VNA-QT software supported platforms: Linux, Windows (7+), Mac OSĬalibrating the VNA is a critical process to ensure accurate results with respect to the VNA configured stimulus output.User can install a 1000mAh – 2000mAh lithium-ion battery with maximum dimensions 6 x 40 x 60 mm. Sweep rate: 200 points/s (140MHz and above), 100 points/s (below 140MHz).S11 noise floor (calibrated): -50dB (up to 1.5GHz), -40dB (up to 3GHz).

System dynamic range (calibrated): 70dB (up to 1.5GHz), 60dB (up to 3GHz).

There are many different ways to use a VNA, but I have mostly used mine to measure an antenna’s frequency response, basically to see how well matched it is to the desired frequency. The NanoVNA V2 builds on the many developments of the NanoVNA which democratized the use of VNAs in hobbyist projects due to the rock bottom price, compared to commercial VNA equipment that could cost thousands of dollars in comparison to the $70 NanoVNA!
