This work shows the comparison of the NANO VNA with a professional laboratory VNA, for tests of radio frequency (RF) and microwave devices and components, with a focus on printed circuit board substrates. The tests were carried out for three substrates: FR4 (ɛ r =4.4) TLY5 (ɛ r =2.2) y RF35 (ɛ r =3.5), obtaining a minimum error with both VNAs, so the use of the NANO VNA is a good option for students and professionals in the area of telecommunications engineering, especially because of its cost of less than 200 dollars compared to the professional VNAs of Thousands of dollars.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
