What does "Average Type" Refer To in Siglent SVA1032X "BW" Menu ???
rf-loop:
Hopefully, this old famous and widely known paper is familiar to everyone who is a little more serious about spectrum analyzers.
Throughout history, this paper has had its own versions, starting way back in the days of HP. The current version is quite relevant with modern analyzers.
Siglent naturally also pretty much follows the same principles.
One should really read the AN and not just skim through it. Including the chapter where is things about noises and yes, some things related to avareage modes come up there as well... more directly and indirectly.
Paper is of course: Latest Keysight version; Spectrum Analysis Basics (AN150)

Hi noisyee, once again, thanks for the response and thanks for trying to figure this out. I've been checking manuals from other manufacturers and it's amazing how similar this is among them as you say. And none of them actually explain it. They're so similar in fact I'm beginning to suspect Siglent more-or-less just copied its manual from some of theirs. Fortunately, the effect seems pretty minimal but it's definitely there and it just bugs me to not understand what's really going on. I've posted this question on a bunch of YouTube channels as well and so far none of them know the answer either. Hopefully someone who has actually worked on this will eventually see one of the posts and respond. If that happens, I'll report the answer back here for anyone else who is interested.
Again, thanks for the update !
