nanoVNA V2

Description

This is the Gold-and-Black version 2, which includes cables, battery and a very nice enclosure This model is functionally identical to the smaller V 2_2 here >>> https://inakit.co.za/product/nanovna-v2-2/ and is slightly more expensive. It works very well with computer software when connected with the included USB cable. This particular item ships with a 1900mAH battery and a set of test connectors. Note that it is functionally identical to the V2. Here is a link to a nice review with some tips   https://www.myadventuresinengineering.com/2020/08/nanovna-v2-vector-network-analyser.html The S-A-A-2 is a completely new design not based on the original NanoVNA by ttrftech. S-A-A-2 does not use harmonics; it uses 2x ADF4350 to cover up to 3GHz. The linearity and dynamic range are improved. The S-A-A-2 design is open source, which means anyone can manufacture it so be careful when buying cheap imports cheaply. The S-A-A-2 always powers up in the uncalibrated state, remember to calibrate for accurate readings.

In the box comes: The actual device, complete with battery installed A4 sheet with Menu Map (Firmware 202005001) A suitable USB micro cable for displaying data on your laptop A bag of nuts and other SMA hardware if you want to mount it in a case Four calibration connectors A female-female through barrel Short Open 50 ohm Two very high quality male-male semi-rigid RG402 cables 300mm long My own Testing Certificate of your device … in other words everything you need to start! Pre-delivery Inspection Each device is unpacked, assembled and tested before repacking for shipping. The battery is fitted and connected and charged to around 60% – 70% The firmware level is checked and if necessary updated   Published Specifications: Frequency range: 50kHz – 3GHz System dynamic range (calibrated): 70dB (up to 1.5GHz), 60dB (up to 3GHz) S11 noise floor (calibrated): -50dB (up to 1.5GHz), -40dB (up to 3GHz) Sweep rate: 100 points/s Display: 2.8”, 320 x 240 USB interface: Micro USB Power: USB, Maximum charge current 1A Battery: 1950mAh lithium-ion Battery connector: JST-XH 2.54mm Maximum sweep points (on device): 201 Maximum sweep points (USB): 1024 Port 2 return loss (1.5GHz): 20dB typ Port 2 return loss (3GHz): 13dB min VNA-QT software supported platforms: Linux, Windows (7+), Mac OS Notable Notes The red LEDs on the side are supposed to be a battery level indicator. The battery last for a good hour or more. The unit comes with a top and bottom cover, which is plenty for up to 1GHz (and it saves on shipping). Above 1GHz you can fit a thin aluminium cover around the sides – I’ll send you a video to illustrate.   Some other useful links (although not directly related)   Firmware https://github.com/nanovna/NanoVNA-V2-firmware Board https://github.com/ttrftech/NanoVNA User manual https://nanorfe.com/nanovna-v2-user-manual.html Groups.io https://groups.io/g/NanoVNA-V2 EEVBlog https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/nanovna-v2-aka-s-a-a-2/ Releases https://github.com/nanovna/NanoVNA-QT/releases Jimmy https://gojimmypi.blogspot.com/2019/10/nanovna-notes.html Rudi https://www.rudiswiki.de/wiki9/nanoVNA
