Five key considerations for spectrum analyzers

June 25, 2021 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

A bevy of specifications define how spectrum analyzers perform. But just a handful of qualities can be pivotal when it comes to selecting instrumentation. Contributed by Signal Hound As wireless technologies pervade our lives, more engineers find they must make RF measurements. In the past, RF testing required the use of expensive equipment handled only […]

Economical vector signal generator features 40 MHz bandwidth

May 29, 2019 By Lee Teschler 2 Comments

vsg60A

The VSG60A vector signal generator offers the performance and agility of a serious vector signal generator at a fraction of the cost. A low phase noise, agile local oscillator with a 200 μsec switch time enables frequency hopping spread spectrum testing, and a dual 14-bit DAC runs at 2x or 3x the I/Q symbol rate […]

Spectrum analyzer features 20 GHz bandwidth, 160 MHz IBW of calibrated I/Q capture

May 29, 2019 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

sm200b

The new SM200B spectrum analyzer offers 160 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) calibrated I/Q capture, available through block transfer of a two-second I/Q buffer over USB 3.0 to the PC. This added 2-seconds of segmented I/Q capture memory, with advanced triggering options such as frequency mask triggering (FMT) plus user-specified pre- and post-trigger, satisfies the ever-increasing […]

Modules let spectrum analyzers serve as I/Q sources within open-source GNU radio apps

November 27, 2018 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

GNU Radio Signal Hound

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 […]

Current Digital Issue

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
