SA Measurement Issues - Optimizing Sensitivity for Low Level signals
A review of spectrum analyzer settings that can be optimized for measuring low level signals along with how to use noise floor extensions to maximize its sensitivity is covered.
About this course
Spectrum analyzers are often used to measure known low level signals that must be characterized or unknown signals that must be found. Understanding how to take full advantage of the analyzers’ available sensitivity is key to finding unknown signals and making accurate measurements in the lab, production floor or in the field. A review of spectrum analyzer settings that can be optimized for measuring low level signals along with how to use noise floor extensions to maximize a spectrum analyzer’s sensitivity is covered.
