What is the difference between a signal analyzer and a spectrum analyzer?

common problems 7170

Spectrum analyzers are primarily used to measure the amplitude of an input signal in relation to its frequency. Signal analyzers, on the other hand, measure both the amplitude and phase of an input signal at a single frequency. For more information, please refer toTechnical overviewSpectrum Analyzers and Signal Analyzers.

  • What are network analyzers used for?

    504

    Network analyzers perform component characterization tests. A network analyzer provides a calibrated excitation signal to an RF network or device under test (DUT) and measures the vector response at frequency with phase and amplitude information. A VNA provides transmission (transmission coefficient, insertion loss, gain), reflection (reflection coefficient, VSWR, return loss), and impedance measurements, as well as s...

  • What is VNA?

    622

    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...

  • What is a benchtop DC power supply?

    546

    A benchtop DC power supply is a power supply that is mounted to an engineer's workbench for use. It usually has a large, legible display and user interface to allow the engineer to easily achieve full control of the power supply from the front panel. Users can also control modern benchtop power supplies through software. In addition, engineers can easily access the output terminals from the front. Variable bench power supplies are a convenient electric...
