Measuring with Modern Spectrum Analyzers Educational Note

Oct. 2, 2024
This educational note examines both the theory and practice of state-of-the-art spectrum analysis by discussing specific measurements taken on an integrated RF amplifier.

The theoretical section of this document first outlines the design and operation of modern spectrum analyzers, followed by a brief overview of current signal generators used as stimuli for amplifier measurements. It then mathematically derives the spectrum effects caused by the nonlinearity of real devices under test. The practical section includes detailed lab exercises for small groups, aimed at illustrating and deepening the understanding of the theoretical concepts presented.
