12 April 2021 – Introduction to VNAs and the NanoVNA by Alan Wolke, W2AEW
This video begins with a short presentation in memory of HRH The Prince Philip who died on 9 April 2021
Alan’s presentation
Alan gives an introduction to what a VNA is, the fundamentals of VNA operation and terminology, and what it’s good for.
He then goes into the NanoVNA specifically—a bit about the design, calibration, operation and typical use cases—followed by the limitations of the NanoVNA compared to “professional” VNAs.
