COMPONENT  TEST BOARD  TO USE WITH YOUR VNA

Please make sure you read my Disclaimer and that you fully understand it.

Credit goes to Kevin Loughin KB9RLW "The Old Tech Guy" for this project. I saw this Nano VNA Component Test Board on Kevin's YouTube channel which I thought I would share this and add it to my website after watching this video.

Your VNA has other uses other than just checking your antennas. It can measure component values, find the resonance of series parallel tuned circuits and a lot of other uses.
It is up to you on how you configure your test-board but I do like Kevin's idea if you watch his video.

Check out this link below of his tips on assembly and on how he built his version using the test board.

Photo 1. is the PCB for the VNA Test-board.
Photo 2. is the circuit layout of the board. The black dots you see are ground.
Photo 3. shows the completed unit in it's 3D case.
You can purchase these kits off ali-express or amazon depending on where you are. I got my kit off Ali-express for $9.35 inc tax.
My VNA is the SAA-2 which has N-type connectors, so I also purchased N-type to SMA leads.
The link below are the 3D printed enclosure files to print a case. All the details are on the link.

Case for the Nano Test-Board.

The above link is the 3D case for this little test board. Thanks to Kevin KB9RLW, he has made and designed two versions of the top, so if your board is configured differently, you can print off a blank version of the case top without the labels to suit your own requirements.
