What is sample rate on a spectrum analyzer?
Sample Rate (Hz) = 1.28 or 2.56* Cardinal Span,
Maximum Span/2n where n is an integer. For example, on the 89441A vector signal analyzer, the maximum span is 10 MHz, so cardinal spans are 10 MHz, 5 MHz, 2.5 Mhz, 1.25 MHz, 625 kHz, 312.5 kHz, 156.25 kHz, 78.125 kHz, 39.0625 kHz, 19.53125 kHz, 9.765625 kHz and so on.
What is the difference between a WiFi analyzer and a spectrum analyzer?
What is the difference between a WiFi analyzer and a spectrum analyzer? A WiFi analyzer is used to measure known wireless signals, while a spectrum analyzer is used to measure signal characteristics such as power level, sidebands, harmonics, phase noise, and others on unknown signals.
What is bandwidth on a spectrum analyzer?
The resolution bandwidth is the width of the bandpass filter that is swept across the frequency range. Decreasing the resolution bandwidth increases the ability of the spectrum analyzer to resolve signals at discrete frequencies and causes the sweep rate to take a longer period of time.
What are spectrum analyzers typically used for in Wi Fi troubleshooting?
Spectrum analysis is a process that measures the strength of the network in certain locations. Often, it's used as a troubleshooting tool when networks are experiencing interference. This analysis can help locate the source of the interference so engineers can figure out a solution.
