Re: Welcome and feel free to ask about the tinySA
First and foremost I wish you and Hugen health and success!
Looking forward to hear more about the miniSA.
Let us know how can we help and test it.

Request for testers for the tinySA
During the last weeks I have been designing, together with Hugen, a self contained, ready build, hand-held spectrum analyzer to be sold for a very acceptable price.
The outline and display are exactly

Wiki Typo
Dear Erik,
the device looks promising in the Wiki description. For most ham operators it should be a helpful device.
Only minus for me: as far as I see it, for useful oscillator characterization

Re: Wiki Typo
Karsten,
Thanks for the feedback. Typo corrected and phase noise spec added.
Phase noise is -90dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset and -115dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset. This is a consequence of the balance between cost

Bandscope
Using a smaller sweep to cover the 40 meter band gives a bandscope
A lot of digital traffic.
I still need to optimize the gamma a bit

Tracking generator option
Using two tinySA, one as spectrum analyzer in low input mode and the other as tracking generator with external modulation input
The tracking generator can be set to a small offset so it is possible to

tinysa USB Control
Erik,
Is the usb port only for charging or will it also support remote operation from a software application?? If so do you have a list of the commands that will be supported?

Re: tinysa USB Control
Like the nanoVNA the tinySA supports full control over USB
I am building a Windows SA application with unlimited measurement points that can use the tinySA as it's measurement front end.
The console

Re: Request for testers for the tinySA
Hi Eric
I offer myself as tester and has the following gear:
R&S CMU200 SA(10MHz-2.7GHz) with signal generator (0.1MHz to 2.7GHz) version CRTU-RU
HP8559A SA 0.1MHz to 18GHz
Signal generator HP8664A

tinysa Menu Options
Erik,
Looking at the photos you have shown, some of the menu options look like a winner.? Store trace, subtract stored trace, maxhold (M:H) and simultaneous display of stored trace and live trace are

Erik,
How does the tracking feature work?? From the picture you provided, there is no usb-usb connection so it is not a stepped sweep with one

Re: Tracking generator option
The SA outputs its first LO from the high connector.
The tracking generator mixes the LO with a signal at the first IF and after an LPF you get the tracking signal

tinySA IIP3
This shows the measurement option to measure OIP3 and it is used to measure the internal IIP3 at 0dB attenuation.
Two tones (6MHz and 7MHz) from fairly clean signal generators are used.
