In the fast-paced world of electronics testing and measurement, spectrum analyzers play a critical role in assessing and understanding radio frequency signals. Many professionals, therefore, choose to ...

A spectrum analyzer, or signal analyzer, refers to laboratory equipment that is used for determining the bandwidth of an analog or digital signal. On the device, the frequency appears on the ...

Having a scope in a home lab used to be a real luxury, but these days, its fairly common for the home gamer to have a sophisticated storage scope (or two) hanging around. Dedicated spectrum analyzers ...

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 ...

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 ...

No instrument, whether in the time or frequency domains, is suitable for all use cases. Signal/spectrum analyzers shine for ensuring standards conformity. Oscilloscopes tend to be more versatile, ...

The spectrum analyzer has always been a vital tool for the EMC engineer. Until the last few years, these instruments have been rather large and heavy desktop instruments, weighing up to 60 pounds, or ...

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 ...

[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 ...

Vortex light carries orbital angular momentum (OAM) characterized by exp(ilθ), where θ is the angular coordinate and l is the topological charge (TC) 1. OAM beams have been widely used in a variety of ...

The Rigol DSA815 spectrum analyzer The idea of “seeing” RF has always intrigued me, but short of some futuristic goggles, an RF spectrum analyzer is about as close as one can get. And for those of us ...
