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 ...

Technological innovation in RF continues to advance relentlessly, due in large part to sustained growth in the military and communications sectors. Commercial communications networks and modern radar ...

Back in the 1960s, when I started working in radio broadcast engineering, an oscilloscope was my “eye” on what was happening with equipment. That tool served me well and is still in daily use in my ...

A new education tool has been introduced: the GW RF Trainer Bundle, which consists of an entry-level 3 GHz Spectrum Analyzer and an RF test signal generator. The trainer combo, announced by Saelig, ...

Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the PSA Series II RF Spectrum Analyzers. Available in 1.3GHz and 2.7GHz versions, these new instruments are smaller, lighter and have longer battery life than other ...

Having a scope in a home lab used to be a real luxury, but these days, its fairly common for the home gamer to have a sophisticated storage scope (or two) hanging around. Dedicated spectrum analyzers ...

RF signal observation has evolved from yesteryear’s spectrum analyzer to today’s RF recorder. Swept spectrum analyzers, FFT analyzers, and real-time signal analyzers all had limitations. Today’s RF ...

A Rydberg receiver and spectrum analyzer detects a wide range of real-world radio frequency signals above a microwave circuit including AM radio, FM radio, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.A new quantum sensor can ...

Awhile back I described the RF toolkit I carry around with my laptop. Since I wrote that article, I’ve had a chance to test some new devices. This month I’ll look at the latest Hauppauge ATSC USB ...

One of the most useful pieces of test gear to become generally available to the average broadcast engineer in the last 20 years or so is the spectrum analyzer. This electronic tool, while still rather ...

When the first USB DTV receivers came out with tuners covering 54–806 MHz, I wondered if any of them could be modified into an inexpensive spectrum analyzer. Thanks to RealTek and some Linux kernel ...

A new quantum sensor can analyze the full spectrum of radio frequency and real-world signals, unleashing new potentials for soldier communications, spectrum awareness and electronic warfare. Army ...
