Re: #bug_report CSV save with dBuV
#bug_report
dBuV is fine and well defined, it is dBu (ie without the V) that is confusing and inconsistent.

ZS-407 Spurious Signals
I just received my ZS-407 from R&L Electronics. I do frequency coordination for large events and the most common frequency range for wireless devices is in the 470 MHz to 608 MHz UHF TV band. I set

Re: Brand new to both TinySA AND Spectrum Analyzers
" You should only engage the LNA when your other efforts to pull a signal out of the noise have failed..."
You don't know what signals are there *unless* you try the LNA. You can always turn it off

Re: Measurement problems, strange step noise floor behavior between 600-800kHz
Thank you so much! You are absolutely correct! Of course, the scope was still set to the 10x probe endorsing to increase sensitivity on the TinySA.
I am totally embarrassed now and feel sorry to have

When figuring power levels, assume that something will go wrong and it will transmit at full power.? To do otherwise is to court disaster.? You can tweak levels once you have a working, stable

You cannot connect this way and expect to get good results.? When you connect a coax cable to the T you are loading down with an impedance that will depend on the length of the coax and the scope

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

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
