Hi Leif
If you are ready to invest a bit then look at <https://www.sdrplay.com/> https://www.sdrplay.com/ and purchase one of these models. Then you have a first call SDR Radio and secondly by

Re: Checking modulation

All true. I would check FM, DSB and what ever there is.
Modulation would be easier understand with a suitable SA.

Use any web sdr.
Most have a waterfall option.

Can you recommend one/a few which can do that? I have not found a SDR which could do that.

Re: Spur free dynamic range
Using a sharp tunable BPF after the LC LPF at the output of the generator I was able to measure the still present second order harmonics at -73dBc so third measurement ( at -24dB fundamental) is

Or use a SDR receiver as a poor man SA. You can see modulation sidebands and splatter very well in the waterfall display. You can use really small BWs.

Re: Checking modulation

To measure close in products you need a much narrower RBW typical is
30-100hz, maybe 300hz.? You also need to insure the carrier if any is
not overloading the input of the SA.
If true SSB source and

Re: Spur free dynamic range
Your expectation on harmonics are dependent on the cause.
For example input overload can do that, often you get other products like 3/2s
as you have two signals generally the source and then the

It slowly occurred to me that I am doing this still too complicated and there is an even simpler measurement approach. (if this is too much details for this group feel free to shut me up)

Re: Reference Line

RBW means Resolution Bandwidth,e.g. the bandwidth of the narrowest filter before the power detector
This implies you can not see anything inside a good SSB transmission but you are able to see if

Re: Spur free dynamic range
Thanks Allison for the advice.
As preparation for detailed performance measurements of a tinySA special using an high IIP3 mixer I?added two LC filters after the generators to remove the harmonics

Re: Checking modulation

AS the minimum RBW is 2.7kHz you can not "See" you modulation
For that you best use a receiver and a PC with line in.

How close to a carrier I can get? Many Hams, educators and me would like to see and check their modulators. That is, can I see what does spectrum of? SSB with 1kHz modulation look like. Or 300Hz and

Sorry to ask,
Will there be small bandwidth enough to analyse radio transmission?

Would this line also induce some behavior?
