1. Filter Modules

• Short-wave Low-Pass Filter (LPF): 30MHz (Module 1): Use this module to observe the characteristics of a low-pass filter designed for frequencies up to 30 MHz.
• FM High-Pass Filter (HPF): 100MHz (Module 2): This module demonstrates a high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency around 100 MHz, suitable for FM band applications.
• Commonly Used SAW Bandpass Filter (BPF): 433MHz (Module 3): Explore the behavior of a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) bandpass filter centered at 433 MHz, common in remote control and IoT devices.
• Video Ceramic Trap (BSF): 6.5MHz (Module 4): This module provides a band-stop filter (notch filter) at 6.5 MHz, typically used in video circuits to remove specific interference.

2. RLC Series and Parallel Circuits

Modules 7 through 12 represent various combinations of Resistor (R), Inductor (L), and Capacitor (C) components in series and parallel configurations. These are fundamental for understanding impedance matching, resonance, and filter design. Connect your VNA to these points to analyze their impedance characteristics across a frequency range.

3. Open/Short Circuit and Load Calibration Circuits

• Open Circuit (Module 14): Provides an open-circuit termination for VNA calibration.
• Hubungan Pendek (Module 13): Provides a short-circuit termination for VNA calibration.
• Sirkuit beban (Module 15): Provides a 50-ohm load termination for VNA calibration.
• Thru Circuit (Module 16): A direct connection for through calibration, used to measure the transmission characteristics between two ports.
• 33Ω SWR=1.5 (Module 5) and 75Ω SWR=1.5 (Module 6): These modules provide specific impedance mismatches to demonstrate Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) concepts.

These modules are crucial for performing accurate calibration of your NanoVNA, ensuring precise measurements of other circuits.

4. Attenuation Circuits

• Attenuation (ATT): -5dB (Module 17): This module provides a fixed 5 dB attenuation.
• Attenuation (ATT): -10dB (Module 18): This module provides a fixed 10 dB attenuation.

These modules are useful for demonstrating signal loss and for testing the dynamic range of your VNA.

Pemeliharaan

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your RF Demo Kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Pembersihan: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the board. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the components or PCB traces.
• Penyimpanan: Store the board in a clean, dry, and static-free environment when not in use. Keep it away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Penanganan: Handle the board by its edges to avoid touching the components or connectors directly. Static electricity can damage sensitive electronic components.
• Perawatan Konektor: The UFL connectors are small and delicate. Always align them carefully before pushing them into place. Avoid bending or twisting the connectors.

Penyelesaian Masalah

If you encounter issues while using the RF Demo Kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Signal/Incorrect Readings:
  • Ensure all UFL patch cord connections are secure and correctly seated.
  • Verify that your NanoVNA or test equipment is properly calibrated.
  • Check the frequency range settings on your VNA to ensure they are appropriate for the module being tested.
• Damaged Connectors: The UFL connectors are small. If a connector appears bent or damaged, it may affect performance. Handle with care.
• Komponen yang Hilang: Visually inspect the board to ensure all components are present and securely soldered.
