A spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator can be a useful piece of test gear. This application note covers making a simple loss measurement on a coaxial cable with BNC connectors. Two N-type to ...

For spectrum analyzers lacking a tracking generator, this broadband RF noise source is affordable and will help measure a ...

For a long time, spectrum analyzers and scanning receivers have been widely used in EMI laboratories. The technical capabilities of these instruments are similar to those of a classic stepped EMI ...

Interference is becoming more common and more severe in today’s increasingly crowded wireless spectrum. Given the complex and dynamic nature of many wireless signals, equally dynamic measurement tools ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Tracking down interference with conventional spectrum analyzers can be difficult if the ...

With the ever-expanding adoption of wireless in embedded systems of all types, there’s no question that having spectrum analyzer capability in an oscilloscope is a time-savings convenience for ...

Back in the 1960s, when I started working in radio broadcast engineering, an oscilloscope was my “eye” on what was happening with equipment. That tool served me well and is still in daily use in my ...

Let’s say a corporate engineer or a consultant is coming to your station to diagnose and repair a problem using an RF spectrum analyzer. This would be a great time to schedule a meeting with your ...

Using a spectrum analyzer to measure noise signals requires several additional factors, such as sensitivity or how well the instrument can measure small signals. The analyzer’s noise floor specifies ...

We know [Happy Little Diodes] frequently works with logic analyzer projects. His recent wireless logic analyzer for the ZX Spectrum is one of the oddest ones we’ve seen in a while. The heart of the ...
