A modern spectrum analyzer display A spectrum analyzer measures the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument. The primary use is to measure the power of the spectrum of known and unknown signals. The input signal that a spectrum analyzer measures is; however, compositions of other signals, such as pressure waves and light waves, can be considered through the use of an appropriate. Optical spectrum analyzers also exist, which use direct optical techniques such as a to make measurements. By analyzing the of signals, dominant,,,,, and other components of a signal can be observed that are not easily detectable in. These parameters are useful in the characterization of electronic devices, such as.
The display of a spectrum analyzer has frequency on the horizontal axis and the amplitude displayed on the vertical axis. To the casual observer, a spectrum analyzer looks like an and, in fact, some lab instruments can function either as an oscilloscope or a spectrum analyzer. The main PCB from a 20 GHz spectrum analyser. Showing the, and modular block construction. Spectrum analyzer types are distinguished by the methods used to obtain the spectrum of a signal. There are swept-tuned and (FFT) based spectrum analyzers: • A swept-tuned analyzer uses a to a portion of the input signal spectrum to the center frequency of a narrow, whose instantaneous output power is recorded or displayed as a function of time.
By sweeping the receiver's center-frequency (using a ) through a range of frequencies, the output is also a function of frequency. But while the sweep centers on any particular frequency, it may be missing short-duration events at other frequencies. • An FFT analyzer computes a time-sequence of. FFT refers to a particular mathematical algorithm used in the process. This is commonly used in conjunction with a and.
As above, the receiver reduces the center-frequency of a portion of the input signal spectrum, but the portion is not swept. The purpose of the receiver is to reduce the that the analyzer must contend with. With a sufficiently low sample-rate, FFT analyzers can process all the samples (100% ), and are therefore able to avoid missing short-duration events. Form factor [ ] Spectrum analyzers tend to fall into four form factors: benchtop, portable, handheld and networked. Benchtop [ ] This form factor is useful for applications where the spectrum analyzer can be plugged into AC power, which generally means in a lab environment or production/manufacturing area. Bench top spectrum analyzers have historically offered better performance and specifications than the portable or handheld form factor. Bench top spectrum analyzers normally have multiple fans (with associated vents) to dissipate heat produced by the.
Due to their architecture, bench top spectrum analyzers typically weigh more than 30 pounds (14 kg). Some bench top spectrum analyzers offer optional, allowing them to be used away from. This type of analyzer is often referred to as a 'portable' spectrum analyzer. Portable [ ] This form factor is useful for any applications where the spectrum analyzer needs to be taken outside to make measurements or simply carried while in use. Attributes that contribute to a useful portable spectrum analyzer include: • Optional battery-powered operation to allow the user to move freely outside. • Clearly viewable display to allow the screen to be read in bright sunlight, darkness or dusty conditions. • Light weight (usually less than 15 pounds (6.8 kg)).
Handheld [ ] This form factor is useful for any application where the spectrum analyzer needs to be very light and small. Handheld analyzers usually offer a limited capability relative to larger systems. Attributes that contribute to a useful handheld spectrum analyzer include: • Very low power consumption. • Battery-powered operation while in the field to allow the user to move freely outside. • Very small size • Light weight (usually less than 2 pounds (0.9 kg)). Networked [ ] This form factor does not include a display and these devices are designed to enable a new class of geographically-distributed spectrum monitoring and analysis applications. The key attribute is the ability to connect the analyzer to a network and monitor such devices across a network.
While many spectrum analyzers have an Ethernet port for control, they typically lack efficient data transfer mechanisms and are too bulky or expensive to be deployed in such a distributed manner. Key applications for such devices include RF intrusion detection systems for secure facilities where wireless signaling is prohibited.
As well cellular operators are using such analyzers to remotely monitor interference in licensed spectral bands. The distributed nature of such devices enable geo-location of transmitters, spectrum monitoring for dynamic spectrum access and many other such applications. Key attributes of such devices include: • Network-efficient data transfer • Low power consumption • The ability to synchronize data captures across a network of analyzers • Low cost to enable mass deployment. Theory of operation [ ]. Frequency spectrum of the heating up period of a switching power supply (spread spectrum) incl. Over a few minutes. Hybrid superheterodyne-FFT [ ] Since FFT based analyzers are only capable of considering narrow bands, one technique is to combine swept and FFT analysis for consideration of wide and narrow spans.
This technique allows for faster sweep time. This method is made possible by first down converting the signal, then digitizing the and using superheterodyne or FFT techniques to acquire the spectrum. One benefit of digitizing the intermediate frequency is the ability to use, which have a range of over analog filters such as near perfect shape factors and improved filter settling time. Also, for consideration of narrow spans, the FFT can be used to increase sweep time without distorting the displayed spectrum.
Realtime FFT [ ]. MCS software showing an ultra high resolution (8k UHD with 7680×2160 pixel) EMC test including some limit lines within the GSM frequency spectrum Spectrum analyzers are widely used to measure the, and characteristics of all kinds of (RF) circuitry, by comparing the input and output spectra.For example, in RF mixers, spectrum analyzer is used to find the levels of third order inter-modulation products and conversion loss. In RF oscillators, spectrum analyzer is used to find the levels of different harmonics. In, spectrum analyzers are used to determine occupied bandwidth and track interference sources. For example, cell planners use this equipment to determine interference sources in the and.
In, a spectrum analyzer is used for basic precompliance testing; however, it can not be used for full testing and certification. Instead, an EMI receiver is used. A spectrum analyzer is used to determine whether a wireless transmitter is working according to defined standards for purity of emissions.
Output signals at frequencies other than the intended communications frequency appear as vertical lines (pips) on the display. A spectrum analyzer is also used to determine, by direct observation, the bandwidth of a digital or analog signal. A spectrum analyzer interface is a device that connects to a wireless receiver or a personal computer to allow visual detection and analysis of electromagnetic signals over a defined band of frequencies. This is called panoramic reception and it is used to determine the frequencies of sources of interference to wireless networking equipment, such as Wi-Fi and wireless routers.
Spectrum analyzers can also be used to assess RF shielding. RF shielding is of particular importance for the siting of a magnetic resonance imaging machine since stray RF fields would result in artifacts in an MR image. Audio-frequency uses [ ] Spectrum analysis can be used at to analyse the harmonics of an audio signal. A typical application is to measure the of a nominally signal; a very-low-distortion sinewave is used as the input to equipment under test, and a spectrum analyser can examine the output, which will have added distortion products, and determine the percentage distortion at each harmonic of the fundamental. Such analysers were at one time described as 'wave analysers'.
Analysis can be carried out by a general-purpose with a selected for suitable performance and appropriate software. Instead of using a low-distortion sinewave, the input can be subtracted from the output, attenuated and phase-corrected, to give only the added distortion and noise, which can be analysed. An alternative technique,, cancels out the fundamental with a and measures the total remaining signal, which is total harmonic distortion plus noise; it does not give the harmonic-by-harmonic detail of an analyser. Spectrum analyzers are also used by audio engineers to assess their work. In these applications, the spectrum analyzer will show volume levels of frequency bands across the typical, rather than displaying a wave.
In live sound applications, engineers can use them to pinpoint. Optical spectrum analyzer [ ] An optical spectrum analyzer uses reflective or refractive techniques to separate out the wavelengths of light. An electro-optical detector is used to measure the intensity of the light, which is then normally displayed on a screen in a similar manner to a radio- or audio-frequency spectrum analyzer.
The input to an optical spectrum analyzer may be simply via an aperture in the instrument's case, an optical fiber or an optical connector to which a fiber-optic cable can be attached. Different techniques exist for separating out the wavelengths. Games Logika Dan Algoritma Bsi. One method is to use a, for example a Czerny–Turner design, with an optical detector placed at the output slit. As the grating in the monochromator moves, bands of different frequencies (colors) are 'seen' by the detector, and the resulting signal can then be plotted on a display. More precise measurements (down to MHz in the optical spectrum) can be made with a scanning along with analog or digital control electronics, which sweep the resonant frequency of an optically resonant cavity using a voltage ramp to that varies the distance between two highly reflective mirrors. A sensitive embedded in the cavity provides an intensity signal, which is plotted against the ramp voltage to produce a visual representation of the optical power spectrum.
The frequency response of optical spectrum analyzers tends to be relatively limited, e.g. 800–1600 nm (near-infrared), depending on the intended purpose, although (somewhat) wider-bandwidth general purpose instruments are available.

Image: Nuts About Nets One tool that many Wi-Fi techs have on their wish list is an RF spectrum analyzer. That's because when tasked with tracking down an RF interference problem like that shown in Figure B, other than guessing, using an RF spectrum analyzer is the only way to determine the source and exact frequency of the interference. However, good RF spectrum analyzers are expensive. A good and inexpensive RF spectrum analyzer One reason Nuts About Nets is interesting is the company's ability to offer great tools (software and hardware) that are inexpensive. And, it appears Leytus has done it again with his newest offering:, a low-cost spectrum analyzer. The Wi-Fi version is less than $120.
