A spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator can be a useful piece of test gear. This application note covers making a simple loss measurement on a coaxial cable with BNC connectors. Two N-type to ...

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 ...

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 ...
