Appplications for a Spectrum Analyzer:

Device Frequency Response Measurements: You can use spectrum analyzers for measuring the amplitude response (typically measured in dbm) against frequency of device. The unit of frequency is Hertz. 1000Hz=1KHz, 1000Kz=1MHz, 1000MHz=1GHz. The device may be anything from a broadband amplifier to a narrow band filter. 

Microware Tower Monitoring: You can measure the transmitted power and received power of a Microware tower. Typically, you use a directional coupler to tap the power without interrupting the communications. In this way, you can verify that the frequency and signal strength of your transmitter are according to the specified values.  

Interference Measurements: Any large RF installations normally require site survey. A spectrum analyzer can be used to verify identify and interferences. Any such interfering signals need to be minimized before going ahead with the site work. Interference can be created by a number of different sources, such as telecom microwave towers, TV stations, or airport guidance systems etc.  

Other measurements that could be made using spectrum analyzer include the following:  

  • Return-loss measurement
  • Satellite antenna alignment
  • Spurious signals measurement
  • Harmonic measurements
  • Inter-modulation measurements 

 

Why rent?

Spectrum analyzers are expensive. But there are a variety of reasons for renting at Livingston. For the comfort, the flexibility to upgrade, downgrade, always the latest technology, the financial controls (no depreciation), short term emergency needs, peak demand requirements, etc. 

True or false: 30 dBm + 30 dBm = 60 dBm?

Why does 1% work out to be -40 dB one time but then 0.1 dB or 0.05 dB the next time? These questions sometimes leave even experienced engineers scratching their heads. Decibels are found everywhere, including power levels, voltages, reflection coefficients, noise figures, field strengths and more. What is a decibel and how should we use it in our calculations? This Application Note is intended as a refresher on the subject of decibels. Click here »
