Signal Analysis Measurement Fundamentals
Optimize Noise Floor, Resolution Bandwidth, and More
For an RF engineer, a spectrum analyzer or signal analyzer is an essential and fundamental measurement
tool, used in all phases of the product life cycle. Key characteristics such as performance, accuracy and
speed help R&D engineers enhance their designs and help manufacturing engineers improve test efficiency
and product quality. This note offers a variety of techniques that will help you master signal analysis in your
application. Our focus is on helping you optimize attributes such as measurement noise floor, resolution
bandwidth, dynamic range, sensitivity, and more, while maintaining speed and productivity. This Keysight application Note will help you to:
Improve Measurement Accuracy in Each Test Setup
