Re: New FW release: Added frequency grid indicator
Erik, Igor is correct.? If you accidently select the measure menu there is no way to back out of it without losing your settings.? There should either be a 'back' button (intuitive) or selecting the

Re: tinysa
This is with 0dB internal attenuation. If you increase attenuation these numbers can go up with the attenuation but do not fry the internal attenuator. With 30dB attenuation the tinySA will survive a

Re: tinysa
Scott, you can find the specification of the TinySA here: https://tinysa.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Specification It lists the maximum input power as 10dBm - anything more and you will likely fry it.

Hi Erik, For this method of NF measurement it is important that the noise contribution of the DUT is dominant over the noise of the S.A. itself. One can easily check this in your example by powering
