The crowded RF spectrum, compounded by the explosion in application spaces joining the cloud, demands advanced development tools able to provide deeper insights into signals and their measurement. Our ...

It’s Darren again, filling in for Jit. Last week, we discussed FFT functionality and VSA (vector-signal-analysis) software on a scope. Sometimes I hear this called spectrum analyzer software, but in ...

We all love our wireless devices. We want more features, higher data rates, and improved range. These demands, in turn, require advanced digital protocols. Meanwhile, the number of signal sources is ...

Multiple high sensitivity sensors installed for detecting Power line, Smart meter, Cell phone, Microwave etc. Identify/recognize the common possible sources, such as Power line, Cell Tower, Microwave, ...

[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 ...

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 ...

Recently, a reader wrote to me seeking a copy of a paper on measuring the transient peak-to-average power ratio of DTV signals. So perhaps the topic of DTV signal power, which is so different from ...

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 ...
