This video demonstrates how to use the peak function of a RIGOL spectrum analyzer. In this experiment, the DG4000 arbitrary waveform generator is used to source the signal, while the DSA815 spectrum ...

This video shows how to measure RIGOL DSA815’s phase noise. It also includes a brief explanation on the basic principles of phase noise specification. In the experiment, the DG4000 arbitrary waveform ...

Having a scope in a home lab used to be a real luxury, but these days, its fairly common for the home gamer to have a sophisticated storage scope (or two) hanging around. Dedicated spectrum analyzers ...

For a long time, spectrum analyzers and scanning receivers have been widely used in EMI laboratories. The technical capabilities of these instruments are similar to those of a classic stepped EMI ...

A general-purpose vector signal analyzer offers a low-cost, flexible option for measuring the frequency settling time of PLLs. By Douglas Olney, Keithley Instruments Inc. The frequency-settling time ...

In the Bad Old Days, a spectrum analyser was a big piece of expensive machinery that you’d have on your bench next to your oscilloscope. And while good ones still cost a ton of money, [rheslip] shows ...
