Spectrum analyzers are powerful test equipments that can help troubleshoot, characterize and fix RF related issues. Instruments equipped with a tracking generator also have the added benefit being ...

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 ...

What is real-time spectrum analysis? Spectrum (FFT) vs. real-time mode for viewing spikes. What is needed to test for conducted and radiated emissions? If you’ve ever tried to perform ...

As one of the most important instruments for electrical test in a lab or in the field, signal and spectrum analyzers serve multiple purposes across a range of applications, from communications, to ...

The FPL1044 supports measurements from as low as 10 Hz using DC coupling, enabling analysis across a wide frequency span in a single instrument. This is useful for tasks that involve both ...

The new R&S FPL1044 from Rohde & Schwarz offers a frequency range of 10 Hz to 44 GHz. It is the first and only spectrum analyzer in this price range on the market to reach the 44 GHz milestone, ...

No doubt one of the most revolutionary tools for the RF side of broadcasting was the advent of the network analyzer. Prior to its invention, measuring the response of an antenna system was more or ...

Every machine has its own way of communicating with its operator. Some send status emails, some illuminate, but most of them vibrate and make noise. If it hums happily, that’s usually a good sign, but ...

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 ...

While it’s seldom necessary (post-installation, anyway) to test the physical-layer behavior of a wired LAN infrastructure, the same cannot be said for wireless LANs. Many elements, including fading, ...

Datastick Systems, Inc., has announced six new handheld vibration analyzers in its VSA product line, along with an upgrade of its Spectrum software suite for handheld computers and smartphones. New ...
