Hints for optimizing Demodulation with a Spectrum Analyser

The Rigol DSA1000 and DSA800 series spectrum analysers have demodulation capabilities.Here are some hints that can optimize the demodulation output.1. Use an antenna matched for the frequencies of interest...

How to measure a Digital TV Pilot Carrier Signal with a DSA815

Here is a user submitted  application note on measuring Digital TV Pilot Carrier frequency.Thanks to Frank Hertel Newman-Kees RF Measurements & Engineering.1.    Under Control -- “BW / Det” -- “Det Type”, select POS PEAK Detector....

Spectrum Analyser Feature Demonstration

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?

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. ...

What operating system is used on the RSA3000/RSA5000 series spectrum analysers?

DSA800 Series creating manual limit lines

The DSA815 features two pass fail limit lines, one upper and one lower. This document describes how to manually configure the upper limit line. •    In the control menu on the front pane, press Trace/P/F •    Select Pass/Fail ...

Detector use cases

This document highlights some of the common uses for Spectrum Analyser Detector Types....

How to take differential measurements on a RSA5000

When using a differential probe with a real time spectrum analyser you will be using the instrument in General Purpose mode and then you will need to create a reference signal that can be referenced when using the differential probe to compare the two signals, then once the reference has been created next you will then use the build in trace math feature to compare the reference signal that was cr...

S1210 Changing the Workspace path

When the S1210 application is started up a default Workspace path and demo file is created. In the example below the demo Workspace file has been created in C:/Users/ruby/AppData/Local:...

Measuring Cable Loss with a Spectrum Analyser

A spectrum analyser with a tracking generator can be a useful piece of test gear. This application note covers making a simple loss measurement on a coaxial cable with BNC connectors.  Required: –    Two N-type to BNC Adapters. Select adapters that convert N-type (in/out connectors on most spectrum analyzers) to t...
