What is the difference between a signal analyzer and a spectrum analyzer?

common problems 9040

Spectrum analyzers are primarily used to measure the amplitude of an input signal in relation to its frequency. Signal analyzers, on the other hand, measure both the amplitude and phase of an input signal at a single frequency. For more information, please refer toTechnical overviewSpectrum Analyzers and Signal Analyzers.

  • What is IQ modulation?

    632

    In-phase quadrature modulation (IQ modulation) is the main modulation scheme used in communication applications. It is popular because of its efficient use of bandwidth, meeting the increasingly urgent need for bandwidth in a world where data volumes are growing exponentially. It is important to test with simulated IQ signals because designers are always faced with a lack of bandwidth in an interference-ridden spectrum. Example...

  • What are network analyzers used for?

    701

    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...

  • What is a current probe?

    867

    Many people use digital multimeters to easily measure current, voltage, resistance, etc. However, there is a drawback to using a digital multimeter to measure current, namely: the circuit must be disconnected and the digital multimeter must be connected in series with the circuit under test in order to make the measurement. In this case, a current probe can be used instead of a digital multimeter to make measurements. Since the electrical connection of the circuit is no longer required, the current probe is more time-consuming...

  • What is an oscilloscope?

    755

    An oscilloscope is a test instrument used to capture and display a graph of the waveform of an electrical signal over time. For example, it can graph voltage (y-axis) versus time (x-axis) on its display. Oscilloscopes are powerful tools for designing and testing electronic equipment. They play a very important role in determining whether system equipment components are working properly and which components are malfunctioning. They...
