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 ...

Keysight's new handheld analyzer enables 120-MHz IQ streaming for gap-free signal capture and navigating crowded, complex RF landscapes.

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 ...

Interference is becoming more common and more severe in today’s increasingly crowded wireless spectrum. Given the complex and dynamic nature of many wireless signals, equally dynamic measurement tools ...

The crowded RF spectrum, compounded by the explosion in application spaces joining the cloud, demands advanced development tools able to provide deeper insights into signals and their measurement. Our ...

Let’s say a corporate engineer or a consultant is coming to your station to diagnose and repair a problem using an RF spectrum analyzer. This would be a great time to schedule a meeting with your ...

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 ...

Designers of high-frequency RF equipment and systems are finding that performance is everything when it comes to spectrum analysis. They need to be able to see small signals in the presence of large ...

Digital circuitry can produce a wide range of harmonic frequencies and spectrum analyzers can show you this RF frequency spectrum (power or voltage), versus frequency. They are the one piece of gear ...
