Description
Overview
GAOTek Spectrum Analyzer (9 kHz ~1.5 GHz, Phase Noise -85 dBc/Hz@10 kHz, DANL -150 dBm) is a test equipment designed to examine the frequency spectrum of radio frequency (RF) with -150 dBm displayed average noise level. This device is used for locating, identifying, and solving problems in radio frequency circuits and equipment. The minimum resolution bandwidth of 10 Hz allows excellent signal resolution when separation of closely spaced signals is required and phase noise of -85 dBc/Hz enables users to evaluate most synthesizers and signal generators. It has a -150 dBm displayed average noise level which assures that the unit will not interfere with the actual data and can observe a weaker signal. It provides EMI filter and quasi-peak detector kit to help evaluating EMI levels for pre-compliance testing.
