Not necessarily. Thick film power resistors meant for RF applications are
not that expensive. And they are

Re: Antenuator question
Hi Bruce,
I use a large wattage attenuator followed by a lower wattage step attenuator. ?The first is sized for the max power I plant to test (either 50 or 100 watt, 40 or 50 dB). ?This allows me

Here is a calculator you will find useful...

I like my peak signals between -30 and -40 dBm. In general more attenuation than you think

I have a tinysa ultra on order. So just trying to plan ahead & figured I'd need an antenuator to make sure I didn't blow it up when transmitting into it making measurements. I just didn't know if it

Antenuator question
TinySA Ultra says max 4mw signal input. If I buy a 50watt 50db antenuator & use it for 5 to 50 watts in. Will the tinySA still read the lower wattage input thu that? Or will the antenuator just kill

Thanks Erik.
I just found another pair of stereo earbuds that now work with
my Ultra.
I must have reached my previous conclusion whilst using some
"dud buds" ;-)

Re: Is the TinySA Ultra capable of measuring short radar pulses?
When waiting for a trigger, the tinySA captures the incoming samples at maximum speed in a raw circular buffer.
Once the trigger condition is satisfied the raw samples are converted to requested unit

Re: Is the TinySA Ultra capable of measuring short radar pulses?
If you invoke "Max Hold", you will eventually catch a full radar pulse.

Re: Is the TinySA Ultra capable of measuring short radar pulses?
I'm curious what radar type this is. You mention a power of +5dBm...is this an attenuated sample pulse on the radar transmitter's cabinet? If so, could it be an ASR-9?

Thanks Erik,
I tried adding an attenuator on the off chance that the AGC might be clipping but it had no effect.
New thought ... Is there a way to tell the tinySA to plot the raw samples (in zero

As used in modern PC equipment, so any cheap headset will do.
