For those interested in spectrum analysis and spectrum analyzers in general.

The basics matter and still apply.

Hey! I helped update the AN150 a few summers ago when I was interning for Agilent(Keysight). I also wrote some webapps to demonstrate spectrum analysis fundamentals.

Frequency vs. Time Domain (http://rfmw.em.keysight.com/AN-150/Freqtime/index.html?cmpid=45010&mcr=true)

Display Detection (http://rfmw.em.keysight.com/AN-150/DisplayDetection/index.html)

Swept Tuned Spectrum Analysis (http://rfmw.em.keysight.com/AN-150/SweptTuned/index.html)

Dynamic Range for Third Order Intercept (http://rfmw.em.keysight.com/AN-150/DynamicRangeTOI/index.html)

You can get all of these on the App Note 150 Resource Toolkit. Plus a whole bunch more training programs written by Blake Peterson (http://www.keysight.com/main/editorial.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=2441699&id=2441699&checkRCF=N&referrerUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.keysight.com%3A443%2Fmain%2Feditorial.jspx%3Fcc%3DUS%26lc%3Deng%26ckey%3D2441692%26id%3D2441692%26cmpid%3Dzzfindan150&showAckPage=Y)
