Spectrum analyzers and vector signal analyzers are two instruments commonly employed to analyze electrical signals. This tutorial covers the basics of how to make the best use of these instruments.

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 ...

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 ...

[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 ...

Agilent has expanded the capabilities of its N934xC family of handheld spectrum analyzers with such features as remote control and peak power measurement of pulsed signals for increased versatility in ...
