This video demonstrates how to use the peak function of a RIGOL spectrum analyzer. In this experiment, the DG4000 arbitrary waveform generator is used to source the signal, while the DSA815 spectrum ...

The Hackaday Superconference is all about showcasing the hardware heroics of the Hackaday community. We also have a peer-reviewed journal with the same goal, and for the 2018 Hackaday Superconference ...

The analysis of electrical signals, otherwise known as signal analysis, is a fundamental challenge for virtually all electronic design engineers and scientists. While it provides valuable insight into ...

This video shows how to measure RIGOL DSA815’s phase noise. It also includes a brief explanation on the basic principles of phase noise specification. In the experiment, the DG4000 arbitrary waveform ...

There are many ways to look at the world, and many ways to look at electronic signals. Many fundamental instruments, such as voltmeters and oscilloscopes, use a time-oriented approach. They provide ...

Using a spectrum analyzer to measure noise signals requires several additional factors, such as sensitivity or how well the instrument can measure small signals. The analyzer’s noise floor specifies ...
