Re: Using the TinySA Ultra for fault finding
Hi Martin et al, thanks very much for the information it’s very much appreciated, as I said my main worry was blowing up the output of the rf generator, the scope probe is definitely one I will try.

Re: Using the TinySA Ultra for fault finding
And another thing... If you want to build your own passive probe, then using a series connected resistor and capacitor is a better option. The principle is described on this

Re: Using the TinySA Ultra for fault finding
One other thing I forgot to mention. You can use a X10 scope probe with a spectrum analyser and will obtain a similar level of attenuation. This can be handy, for example, when tracing an RF signal

Re: Using the TinySA Ultra for fault finding
Hi Bob, Yes, I'd agree on these theoretical values, but a lot depends upon the probe construction and the load impedance, and I have successfully used this technique in practice for many

Re: Using the TinySA Ultra for fault finding
You will get about 20 to 30dB loss through a X10 probe, as they are designed for use with a high input impedance scope. But if you are not bothered about the accuracy of the signal amplitude, it's a

Re: Signal Generator level output
You're right, please see Erik's comment ( "The minimum output level is -115dBm" ): /g/tinysa/message/14395 And here's the start of this

Re: Using the TinySA Ultra for fault finding
Hi Martin, thanks for the reply, I never thought of the x10 scope Probe idea, I do have signal generators but it’s the time waiting for them to stabilise that can be a pain. regards Amanda

Re: Using the TinySA Ultra for fault finding
Personally, I'd place an extra external attenuator on the generator output, and then use a DC blocking capacitor. If you are not worried about absolute signal levels, then put something like a 1k ohm

Using the TinySA Ultra for fault finding
Hi all, I’m considering using my TinySA Ultra as a signal generator to fault find a VHF SSB transceiver, I want a stable 10.7MHz signal that I can inject into the signal chain but I’m worried

Re: Signal Generator level output
AFAIK the fault was that the older FW versions allowed you to enter an illegal lower value output (-124dBm?) than the hardware can actually achieve. So with the older FW if you entered -124 you still

Re: Signal Generator level output
See specifications in the tinySA Ultra Wiki.? The minimum output in the signal generator mode is depreciated to -115dBm. "Output level selectable in 1dB steps between -115dBm and -19dBm" Herb

Re: Signal Generator level output
I have installed firmware version 151 and the output signal in generator mode is maximum -115dBm. Not changed at -124 dBm

TinaSA Ultra - Sweep command giving back random data error in dBm Field.
Hi all Has anyone had trouble with dodgy data in the dBm field in the data returned from a sweep.? e,g, "sweep 520M 530M 21" I am getting: 552700000 -:.000000e+01 0.000000000 You will notice that

Re: Tiny SA Ultra - What do the parameters of the lna2 command mean
That's OK, But I do need the LNA it gives me a big boost in SNR. The TV signals are down around -80dB mark. Regards RJG
