Hi Guys,

two questions regarding the SNA5000A:

1. Can it work as a standard Spectrum analyzer with a TG? Where is the TG output in that case? Any limitations it would have over a SSA3032X Plus?

2. Do the standard old hacks work with this baby?

Many Thanks,
luudee

It would be interesting to see the thought process that someone goes through that results in buying one of these :popcorn:

It is slow, with mediocre performance, limited capabilities and non competitive pricing. We are talking serious corner cases here. Maybe Chinese universities or countries with embargoes?

OK, so which units would you recommend instead?
What is better and cheaper?

Thank you

Hi Rudi,

which SNA were you looking at? Each unit has a different alternative to it. It depends on the functionality and performance that you are looking for.
What will you be using the instrument for? Simple filter design, maybe amplifier design, frequency converter design, etc...

The SNA doesn't support frequency offset, so no miyer testing or Transmitter/receiver testing. It has a slow sweep speed that limits manual filter tuning, similar to TTR500 units from Tek. Maybe this is not a issue for you if you do not perform such tasks.

Once you share more details, I can give you some better or cheaper alternatives.
