Is the TinySA Ultra capable of measuring short radar pulses?
|
I recently purchased a TinySA Ultra in hopes of being able to measure the strength of a radar signal at various locations of my property. After weeks of comparing the (borrowed) Agilent FieldFox N9915A results to TinySA, I am coming to the realization that the TInySA is not capable. The radar signal is composed of 2.8752 GHz, +5dBm, 1us duration pulses every 1ms. The radar spins so I get a burst of about 20 of these pulses every 4.8 seconds. This is the best I can do with TinySA. Unchecking the Spur Removal seemed to help but changing NSpeedUp, WSpeedUp and #points did not have any effect.? Why are the power levels of the pulses so different using?the?TinySA while the FieldFox is very consistent (and much higher)?
Below is for comparison. Thanks in advance. ~~Mike Flohr
Here is Fieldfox capture over 6 seconds: And over 50ms And over 50us
