This video shows how to measure the input impedance and gain of a small-signal RF amplifier - including the use of an attenuator to keep the amp in it's linear range and also to not overdrive the NanoVNA. This stems from a recent conversation with Bill N0CQR (SolderSmoke podcast). The amplifier featured is a "Termination Insensitive Amplifier" or TIA that is described in paper by Wes Hayward (W7ZOI) and Bob Kopski (K3NHI) - see links below:
