Special Report: Signal and Spectrum Analyzers (.PDF Download)
Signal and spectrum analyzers are key instruments for measuring the performance of products operating through the RF and millimeter-wave frequency ranges. They address markets extending through low-cost, low-power IoT devices to backhaul and satellite communications. They also have a role to play in radar and military/aerospace test and are available in a variety of form factors, including modular, USB, portable, and benchtop.
Trends
“The increasing research and development in IoT and smart sensor technologies has driven the need for test equipment that provides solid performance and ease-of-use without the high costs associated with traditional RF test equipment,” said Jason Chonko, applications marketing manager at SIGLENT Technologies North America. “Engineers are looking for the best performance without paying a premium.”
