Tiny low cost home build spectrum analyzer

Building and tuning GHz cavities is not everyone's hobby but if you need a zero till a couple of hundred MHz spectrum analyzer there is a much simpler build possible. This is all you need to measure

Hello Erik, I am following your postings for some time now, as I am also building a spectrum analyzer. I am struggling with the design of an input lowpass. Could you perhaps publish the design of your

To complete the building I measured the S21 of the cavity filter First the pass band As the home build GHZ VNA does not have any shielding the dynamic range is rather limited but the -3dB

Building and tuning a narrow band 2GHz cavity filter
During my 2 GHz SA experiments it became more obvious that having three IF's (2.5GHz, 110MHz and 10.7MHz) was leading to all kind of problems so I went looking for a very narrow band cavity filter. To

Re: XR2206 function gen for vfo
You should do something like everyone else. I would use an Si5351, not DDS but hi tech PLL.? Mounted on a board they are now down to < $4 on ebay. They are xtal locked, sub Hz resolution, <8KHz-?

Re: XR2206 function gen for vfo
Never used the XR2206 but me experience with discrete component function generators in the 1960's indicates the cycle to cycle jitter would be too poor for a VFO. Besides jitter, the XR2206 has a 20

Re: XR2206 function gen for vfo
You should reference the chip's datasheet for estimated current draw. It's out on the 'net. Given the ship's age, its current draw is likely higher than a complete Raspberry Pi or similar micro.

When to use the low spur mode of the ADF4351

For some time I have been fine tuning my spectrum analyzer. Did some improvements like replacing the cavity filter with a much narrower version so the 10.7MHz second IF no longer creates spurs. And I

Could be as the actual performance of the SA using two of these modules is better than what I measure with the audio method
