In this episode Shahriar extensively reviews the Rigol DSA1030A-TG3 Spectrum Analyzer. A wide variety of experiments are performed using the Rigol spectrum analyzer to serve both as a tutorial to use the instrument and to demonstrate its capabilities. Some measurement results are also performed using other calibrated instruments to verify the accuracy of the spectrum analyzer. The Rigol DSA1030A-TG3 can be purchased directly from Rigol Inc.
The following experiments are performed:
1 ) Signal amplitude, frequency and phase-noise measurements.
2 ) Low amplitude signal measurements (< -130dBm).
3 ) Low frequency measurement capabilities (< 9kHz).
4 ) PRBS length calculations and characterization.
5 ) Wireless 2.5GHz FM signal transmission and demodulation.
6 ) Attenuator and band-pass filter response measurements.
7 ) Amplifier bandwidth and output compression measurements.
8 ) Calibration and measurements of VSWR using the tracking generator.
9 ) Characterization of the tracking generator signal quality.
