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 ...

This application note discusses on using a passive probe which is commonly used in an oscilloscope, only in this case, it will be used for a spectrum analyzer. A portion of the preferences and ...

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 ...

Tracking down interference with conventional spectrum analyzers can be difficult if the interference is intermittent. This week Tektronix announced the H500 and SA2500 handheld spectrum analyzers with ...

Measuring phase noise with a spectrum analyzer. The primary advantage of dedicated phase-noise analyzers. The cross-correlation method. Using a spectrum analyzer is the oldest, most straightforward, ...

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 ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new fiber-optic sensing method that detects strain and displacement by reading interference patterns directly in the electrical spectrum of a photodetected signal. The ...

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 ...

Hopefully by now most of us know better than to rent a modem from an internet service provider. Buying your own and using it is almost always an easy way to save some money, but even then these pieces ...

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 ...
