What are spectrum analyzers used for?

common problems 6250

spectrum analyzerThe amplitude of an input signal can be measured versus frequency over the entire frequency range to determine the power of the signal. Spectrum analyzers are capable of performing tests such as noise figure and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to characterize the performance of a device and its contribution to overall system performance. For more information, please refer toApplication GuideFundamentals of Spectrum Analysis.

  • What does the best network analyzer look like?

    526

    The selection criteria for a VNA depends heavily on the application or usage scenario. Typically, selection criteria include frequency range, number of ports required (from 2 to 24 (multiport) and even 48 (with switching matrix)), output power, and instrument class from economy to handheld to high-end. Vector network analyzers are both signal generators and receivers...

  • What are network analyzers used for?

    421

    Network analyzers perform component characterization tests. A network analyzer provides a calibrated excitation signal to an RF network or device under test (DUT) and measures the vector response at frequency with phase and amplitude information. A VNA provides transmission (transmission coefficient, insertion loss, gain), reflection (reflection coefficient, VSWR, return loss), and impedance measurements, as well as s...

  • How do I connect two DC power supplies in series?

    468

    To connect two DC power supplies in series, connect the positive terminal of the first power supply to the negative terminal of the second power supply to form a "daisy-chain" connection, where the series voltage is the sum of the voltages of the two power supplies. To connect two DC power supplies in series, proceed as follows: Note that the voltage of the load should be equal to or higher than the sum of the voltages of the two power supplies to prevent damage to the load or power supply. In addition, the load's rated...
