What are the main types of spectrum analyzers?

common problems 4860

There are two main types of spectrum analyzers: sweep tuning analyzers and real-time analyzers. Modern spectrum analyzers use digital signal processing to provide more measurement capabilities, making it easier for you to interpret your measurements. Whether it's a swept-tuning analyzer or a real-time spectrum analyzer, they both display the change in amplitude with frequency. But how exactly does each analyzer process and display this information? A real-time spectrum analyzer displays the energy of all frequency components simultaneously. A swept-tuned spectrum analyzer displays measurements sequentially, in other words, it does not measure in "real time". This is because a swept-tuned analyzer uses a narrow filter that is tuned over a range of frequencies to produce the spectrum display.

  • What is the difference between a DC power supply and an AC power supply?

    416

    Alternating current is suitable for transmission and distribution of electricity over long distances through the grid system. Direct current is a one-way flow of charge and is more reliable than alternating current, but is not suitable for long-distance transmission. Most electronic devices use DC because their voltage is constant, such as devices powered by batteries. Some devices also use rectifiers to convert AC to DC. Power supplies usually have an internal...

  • What are the advantages of Trueform technology?

    414

    Its advantages include: Ultra-low jitterTrueform function/arbitrary waveform generators have jitter as low as 1 ps and excellent edge stability. You can even use them as system clocks for timing and triggering other instruments. Thanks to better jitter performance, you can locate edges more accurately, which helps reduce timing errors in circuit design. Ultra-low...

  • How do I test a DC power supply?

    419

    There are several ways to test a DC power supply, here we only introduce a few common methods. Conductivity test: You can use the multimeter's conductivity mode to accomplish this test. Touch the positive and negative terminals of the power supply with the multimeter pen. If it is on, the multimeter will beep. This test is designed to determine if the power supply is delivering power and if there are any breaks in the wiring. Voltage...
