The RTL-SDR dongles get most of the love from people interested in software-defined radio, but the Pluto is also a great option, too. [FromConceptToCircuit] shares code to turn one of these radios ...

Every machine has its own way of communicating with its operator. Some send status emails, some illuminate, but most of them vibrate and make noise. If it hums happily, that’s usually a good sign, but ...

With the ever-expanding adoption of wireless in embedded systems of all types, there’s no question that having spectrum analyzer capability in an oscilloscope is a time-savings convenience for ...

A set of functions are presented for Octave/MATLAB that allow easy, consistent, and properly scaled DFT/FFT analysis of signals and noise. The techniques and functions presented are easily translated ...

In the fast-paced world of electronics testing and measurement, spectrum analyzers play a critical role in assessing and ...

This application note discusses on using a passive probe which is commonly used in an oscilloscope, only in this case, it will be used for a spectrum analyzer. A portion of the preferences and ...

No instrument, whether in the time or frequency domains, is suitable for all use cases. Signal/spectrum analyzers shine for ensuring standards conformity. Oscilloscopes tend to be more versatile, ...

For spectrum analyzers lacking a tracking generator, this broadband RF noise source is affordable and will help measure a ...
