VNA basics

Vector Network Analyzer (VNA） is the most commonly used instrument in the field of RF and
microwave，VNA measures the reflection and transmission behavior of a device under test
(DUT）across a configured frequency range. VNA is usually used to measure antenna impedance,
cable loss, filters, power splitters, couplers, duplexers, amplifiers, etc.
Note that the "network" mentioned here does not refer to a computer networks. When the
name "network analyzer" was coined many years ago, there ware no such things as computer
networks. Back then, networks always referred to electrical networks. Today, when we refer to
the things that network analyzers measure, we speak mostly about devices and components.

NanoVNA-F V2 is a dual-port portable vector network analyzer that can be used to measure
the S11 parameters of a single-port network, or to measure the S11 and S21 parameters of a
dual-port network. If you need to measure the S22 and S12 parameters of the dual-port
network, you can achieve it by exchanging the measurement ports.

VNA must be calibrated before any measurements are performed

The NanoVNA-F V2 is a portable vector network analyzer for measuring and analyzing RF circuits. Calibration is an important step to ensure accuracy. The following are the calibration steps for the NanoVNA-F V2

1. First, make sure you have installed the NanoVNA-F V2 driver and corresponding software before using it.

2. Connect the NanoVNA-F V2 to your computer and open the corresponding software.

3. Select the "Calibration" option in the software, usually found in the menu bar or toolbar.

4. Select either Full Calibration or Partial Calibration as required. Full calibration includes calibration of parameters such as frequency, response, and delay, while partial calibration can be performed as needed.

5. Follow the instructions in the software to connect calibration devices (e.g., open circuit, short circuit, load, etc.) to the NanoVNA-F V2.

6. Click on the "Start Calibration" or similar button in the software, and the calibration process will be carried out automatically.

7. When calibration is complete, the software will display the calibration results and apply the relevant parameters to the measurement process.

Please note that the above steps are for reference only and may vary depending on the software version. It is recommended that you consult the NanoVNA-F V2 user manual or related documentation for detailed calibration instructions.
