Re: Output impedance of RF sinewave generator (Tiny Ultra)
Please do not modify the tinySA HW, you will make it worse. The output impedance is roughly 50 ohm but for best impedance matching you can consider adding a 6 dB external attenuator. I never do this

Re: WinSpectrum III spectrum analyzer application designed for Windows users working with Tiny SA Ultra+
A 64 bits update is now available. Additionally, following your suggestion Stephen, a 32-bit version targeting .NET Framework 2.0 has been added for better compatibility with older systems. Feel free

Re: Output impedance of RF sinewave generator (Tiny Ultra)
That means that the output is low impedance, i.e. not 50 ohms? Could I insert a resistor at an appropriate place behind the mux, in the signal path from the generator? -- Erstellt mit Operas

Re: Output impedance of RF sinewave generator (Tiny Ultra)
For good output impedance you must insert a attenuator of at least 6 dB -- Designer of the tinySA For more info go to https://tinysa.org/wiki

Output impedance of RF sinewave generator (Tiny Ultra)
Today, as I was going to measure the frequency (sensitivity) plot of a 500 MHz Keysight oscilloscope, I found that the measured amplitude was going to increase by approx. 6 dB from approx. 150 to 300

Ok, i got it. All references when not given are 0db = 1wThanksSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

The tinySA measures absolute power in a 50 ohm load and can display in various units such as dBm, volt and watt dBm is log of watt dB is relative. -- Designer of the tinySA For more info go to

Re: What accessories do I need for a TinySA Ultra?
The standard of power measurement for most things RF these days is the: Watt or dBW Milliwatt or dBm This assumes measurements are made in a non-reactive (resistive only) 50-ohm system.

Re: What accessories do I need for a TinySA Ultra?
Quick dumb question. Since db is a relative measurement of power, in this case,? and I'm not sure to what standard that is, what units are tinySA db relative to? mW, W, uW or voltage or current level

Re: What accessories do I need for a TinySA Ultra?
Yes, only after doing a full range sweep and confirming there are no strong signals (above -20 dBm) you may remove the 10 dB attenuator if needed for the measurement. -- Designer of the tinySA For

Re: What accessories do I need for a TinySA Ultra?
Oh and can you use metal dust caps on the connection not being used when using a TinySA or NanoVNA? I have these nickle plated ones for equipment but was wondering if they would cause interference.

Re: What accessories do I need for a TinySA Ultra?
If I'm understanding you correctly I should leave a 10db attenuator connected and then the antenna connected to that? Like this Constant Attenuator (10db)? https://a.co/d/fuqc3Gc (Or do you recommend
