I am in the process of setting up my lab, and I have the requirement to run frequency response graph on different types of components.
My understanding is that a Spectrum Analyzer is required for this? I see some of these units out there, they look 20 or 30 years old. Has this need I have been solved a better way from then until now? Perhaps using a PC, or a cheaper piece of lab gear?
I am seeing these analyzers over $1300, which is too much for the frequency with which I need to use it, but I do need it, and also need it to be pretty accurate.
