Re: Measurement problems, strange step noise floor behavior between 600-800kHz
No this is not a problem.? The tinySA noise floor gets worse below 1 MHz.? due to circuit limitations.? Mine is the same as yours as shown below.
If you turn on the LNA it goes about 20 dB

Re: Brand new to both TinySA AND Spectrum Analyzers
I'm having a hard time squaring all the different calculations proposed in

Let's say that for starters, I want to view/compare the harmonics from
several HTs. The 40db attenuator has

Not using a probe going in directly with a BNC T and a 50ohm terminator when open ended. Scope input is 1M|15pF. Again, initially I did not expect that after the requisite calibration this TinySA

Remember to set your scope probe to 1 not 10.

Grounding a TEM Cell
Hi to all.
Right now I'm using TinySA Ultra for conducting some test in order to reduce some harmonics around 700Mhz on my product.
The issue is that the TBTC2 tem cell is able to catch a lot of

Re: Brand new to both TinySA AND Spectrum Analyzers
Another good method to ease measurement of harmonics is to build a simple diplexer (a highpass filter behind a 10dB or greater attenuator will also work) and separate out the fundamental from the

Re: Measurement problems, strange step noise floor behavior between 600-800kHz
On open ended generator to output to scope -> yes, otherwise no because the TinySA input provides 50 ohm impedance, right?
BTW, I just found out that the level difference can be accounted for in the

Have you set your o'scope for 50-ohms or using a 50-ohm feedthrough adaptor?

Measurement problems, strange step noise floor behavior between 600-800kHz
I just got a new TinySA Ultra (SeeSii store, Aliexpress) and get doubtful measurement results.
- I selected the cal output of 30MHz.
- connected the cal output with the SA input with an oscilloscope

That may be true in your experience, but for both military and commercial compliance testing, dBuV/m for radiated measurements and dBuV for conducted measurements are the standard units.

Re: Brand new to both TinySA AND Spectrum Analyzers
No, to measure harmonics of a transmitter you need the highest possible dynamic range of the tinySA and that is without LNA
You only use the LNA when signals are barely/not visible
