EMI pre-compliance analysis option for spectrum analyzers
The UltraReal family of Real-time Spectrum Analyzers now can work with a new integrated EMI Application Mode for EMI Pre-Compliance measurements. RIGOL’s EMI Measurement Application provides a complete EMI Pre-Compliance Solution allowing engineers to measure, compare, analyze, and report on EMI issues throughout their design process. The EMI Application Mode allows for easy measurement set […]
Low-cost spectrum analyzers monitor in real-time to see intermittent and frequency-hopped signals
The compact ThinkRF R5500 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer series is designed to monitor and analyze wireless signals in real-time and not progressively scanned like most common spectrum analyzers. Real-time analysis is vital for being able to observe intermittent or frequency-hopped signals. The R5500 series comes in three models to cover 8, 18, or 27-GHz signals. They […]
Modules let spectrum analyzers serve as I/Q sources within open-source GNU radio apps
GNU Radio modules for the BB60C and SM200A spectrum analyzers allow the analyzers to be used as I/Q sources from within GNU Radio, as blocks in a flowgraph, components of a hierarchical block, or called from a script. According to Roger Rush, lead developer on the project, “Signal Hound and GNU Radio share a software-based […]
USB spectrum analyzer portfolio now includes 13 GHz and 18 GHz models
The RSA500 family of rugged, battery-powered USB-based spectrum analyzers now includes the RSA513A and RSA518A offering 13-GHz and 18-GHz frequency range respectively. Along with their higher frequency support, these instruments provide the ability to stream I & Q data for customers to perform analysis consistent with software-defined radio functionality. Delivering performance and functionality equal to […]
Interactive debugging on a budget
The cost of undertaking multi-domain debugging has come down. New instrumentation can time-correlate RF and embedded signals to let designers quickly uncover the root causes of knotty problems. CHRIS ARMSTRONG, RIGOL TECHNOLOGIES INC. Examine a typical device that is part of the Internet of Things and you’ll likely find a product that combines RF, digital, […]
