Re: Two Questions about the Mini SA
Hello EriK, Thank you for the reply, and thank you also for those very helpful comments about the SI4432 modules. I have ordered the filter elements from the Ebay site that you pointed me to.

Re: How good, or bad, is the tinySA?
For a 868MHz IF you would need? a LO module with 1736MHz maximum frequency in order to be able to exploit the whole range. You could use the SI4432 with a 868MHz IF but as its maximum output

Re: How good, or bad, is the tinySA?
Have you given any thought to a version with 868MHz IF? As thats also a common ISM band and filters for that are available.

Adding a 110MHz low pass filter at the input (almost) solved the problem Here is the FM band using a small antenna Still a bit of a hump below 90MHz -- HBTE Files section:

Re: Two Questions about the Mini SA
I think this is the filter to be used: Epcos B39431-B3555-U310-M1498 You can find the filter on ebay. A seller from Poland has a lot? (and you can find a seller that sells two for an exorbitant

Re: Two Questions about the Mini SA
Hi Tony, Filter: You probably have to build the 434MHz filter. The SAW filters are very cheap as these are used in remote control devices EBay

How good, or bad, is the tinySA?
When trying to measure the spurs of a SI5351 the first measurement caused some doubt on the performance of the tinySA. Is the output of the SI5351 really that bad? The output of the SI5351 is

Re: Tiny low cost home build spectrum analyzer
#spectrum_analyzer
The CC1101 has the same problem as the SI4462. Its has a banded design so you can not sweep over a broad frequency range. The nrf24l01 is limited in dynamic range (only above -60dBm) and frequency

Awesome to see someomeone building this. I have had the the? about using a cc1101 transceiver module as a logarithmic detector and even have some hardware built, but I had problems with the software.
