Advantest R3477 9kHz to 13GHz spectrum analyzer
<< < (6/12) > >>
nctnico:
Both traces are averaged 10 times but the picture shows measurements from two different sources.

Apparently it's -100 dBc/Hz (10kHz offset):

Why don't you just use your 10MHz reference as input signal? Rb references and a good OCXO has a much lower phase noise than a vector RF generator like the HP ESG.

Hello ntcnico.
I grabbed one of these analyzers from ebay as well.
Working fine but I found out that the calibration above 3.5GHz is off.
I guess the cal for the YIG Filter is not good anymore. (Tested against a RS-signal generator)
I think one can calibrate this through the service menu. However I also don't have the password.
Did you have any success finding the password on the flash disc?

regards
gernot

I already posted it earlier:

Use at your own risk though! I'd check if there isn't some frequency compensation enabled in one of the many menus.
dschiedsch:
Hi
yeah thought about that and tried to put everything back to default

also do you know if the calibration is stored on the disk?
if yes then a backup of the disk should minimize the risk of bricking the device
