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 ...

Spectrum Analyzer BASICSThere are many ways to look at the world, and many ways to look at electronic signals. Many fundamental instruments, such as voltmeters and oscilloscopes, use a time ...

Many spectrum analyzers include tracking generators, but some new engineers my not completely understand what the purpose is and how they can help with certain measurements. In a nutshell, tracking ...

[Debraj] wrote to us describing a project he recently completed – a simple, compact spectrum analyzer using a 16-bit dsPIC microcontroller. The analyzer is fed an analog signal, which is passed ...

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 ...

Analyzers apply noise floor extension using an algorithm applied to subtract the analyzer’s noise contribution from spectrum and power measurements. The degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio as a ...
