What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer?

February 14, 2025common problems 6920

An oscilloscope captures and displays signals in the time domain, while a spectrum analyzer captures and displays signals in the frequency domain. Sometimes, oscilloscopes have a built-in spectrum analyzer function to make it easy to analyze signals in both the time and frequency domains.

What is the difference between an arbitrary waveform generator and a function generator?
February 14, 2025 585
The Function Generator provides a preset list of waveforms or code patterns that it can generate. In a function generator, the user can change waveform parameters such as frequency, amplitude, and offset, as well as add simple distortion. Arbitrary waveform generators are more complex and can emulate real-world signals. Arbitrary waveform generators utilize pre-stored digital data to generate these waveforms,...

How do I connect two DC power supplies in series?
February 14, 2025 545
To connect two DC power supplies in series, connect the positive terminal of the first power supply to the negative terminal of the second power supply to form a "daisy-chain" connection, where the series voltage is the sum of the voltages of the two power supplies. To connect two DC power supplies in series, proceed as follows: Note that the voltage of the load should be equal to or higher than the sum of the voltages of the two power supplies to prevent damage to the load or power supply. In addition, the load's rated...

What is VNA?
February 14, 2025 618
Vector network analyzers (VNAs) are test instruments that measure electrical network parameters. They are essential for radio frequency (RF) and microwave component analysis of a wide variety of passive and active devices including filters, antennas and power amplifiers. Network analyzers are ideal for transmission, reflection and impedance measurements as well as s-parameter measurements during design and production. Network analyzers...
