The crowded RF spectrum, compounded by the explosion in application spaces joining the cloud, demands advanced development tools able to provide deeper insights into signals and their measurement. Our ...

Battery powered and nomadic RF spectrum analyzers now give you spectral views in the field—at radio sites and even atop towers. Many of the latest portables also handshake with bench-bound PCs, too.

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 ...

The author is with Cavell Mertz & Associates Inc. in Manassas, Va. May 2018 marks our first year for the measurement drone project development, which is now in operation for measurement of VHF and UHF ...

In the first half of this paper (Engineering Extra, Apr. 14), I discussed the need for an accurate antenna capable of repeatable measurements and presented the design of NPR Lab’s transportable ground ...

As one of the most important instruments for electrical test in a lab or in the field, signal and spectrum analyzers serve multiple purposes across a range of applications, from communications, to ...
