Considerations regarding measurement speed using a spectrum analyzer.

Detailed information on how the speed of general spurious measurements has improved.

The measurement speed of spurious signals is primarily determined by the sweep speed of the spectrum analyzer. In cases where spurious radiation limits are strict with conventional sweep-type spectrum analyzers, measurements can take several hours, and in some cases, even a day. This application note demonstrates the differences in sweep speed between traditional sweep-type spectrum analyzers and state-of-the-art spectrum analyzers equipped with wideband FFT processing capabilities, explaining how the speed of general spurious measurements can be significantly improved.
