New blog post - Physics-Defying Marketing: Review of a Misleading Vendor Article, and a VNA Calibration Primer https://niconiconi.neocities.org/tech-notes/review-of-a-misleading-vendor-article-on-vna-calibration/ Beyond exposing misleading marketing claims, this article also serves as a primer of VNA calibration and the existing literature on coaxial parasitics calculations (I showed five methods in appendices). The screenshot is my favorite part. #electronics
@niconiconi Nice! Something that also stuck out to me in their screenshots is that "PExt" is highlighted suggesting port extensions are turned on, which would be very unusual for a measurement like this.
