16/12/2020
The DSA 800 series of spectrum analysers are packed with features. Spectrum analysers are similar to oscilloscopes.. except that they measure and display amplitude vs. frequency and not amplitude vs. time as a scope does. Typical applications...

Is a Preamp necessary with EMI work?

Posted on: December 16th, 2020 by Doug Lovell
16/12/2020
It's generally recommended to use a preamp with a spectrum analyser when performing EMI and EMC pre compliance tests. The preamp is used to amplify the acquired signal above the noise floor for low level signals. ...
