clone or not?
Hello, I bought a TinySA from the secure seller Eleshop B.V. Nevertheless, I am not so sure that it is an original. The following points: Switching on only works by toggling the power switch and when

Re: Signal generator level
I have a whole set of those SMA 2 watt attenuators I use for a lot of things. They are in 1 dB increments between 1 and 10 dB, and 5 dB increments from there to 30 dB. I also have a Kay switchable

Re: Signal generator level
Yep my HP 8660 leaks a small amount but as long as proper cables are used it still seems to be accurate into a 50 ohm load. Within about 1dB.

Re: Signal generator level
Even my HP 8648C set to -136 dBm (the minimum internally available output) plus additional external attenuation leaks just a wee tiny bit! Still good for receiver MDS evaluations. I've never looked at

Re: Signal generator level
My approach would be to use one of those small SMA connector attenuators. They're fairly inexpensive and you can get them in levels from 3DB to 30 dB. That's what I use. I even use it for low-level

Re: Signal generator level
Minimum output level used to be -120 dBm but not all HW was able to reach this level so the limit was set to -115 dBm The limiting factor is leakage which can not be improved within current cost and

Signal generator level
Is there any future plan to drop the minimum signal level output available below -115 dbm? This would be more useful for receiver sensitivity testing since most radios levels are around -117 dbm to

Re: Spur signals above 2.75 GHz?
I have and use an 8556 in the 852 mainframe. Didn't know it is BWO based. The lowest range which tops out at 3 GHz is pretty clean. The other ranges are the problem. And, yes, the "ID" button for use

Re: Spur signals above 2.75 GHz?
I had an old HP 856/8556 BWO-based spectrum analyzer at my first job, in 1975.? It, like all of the old non-preselected analyzers, had plentiful images and mixing products. It had a Signal Identifier
