Re: model Ultra calibration signal issues (and issues on the RF input)
Let me know if you see an artifact coming from the input that impacts measurement performance

Re: model Ultra calibration signal issues (and issues on the RF input)
You're right, Erik, that these artifacts are not necessarily an issue if it does not affect proper operation. Regarding the apparent output interference of the RF input: that's at least something that

Re: model Ultra calibration signal issues (and issues on the RF input)
Rob,
How do you determine these artifacts are an issue?

model Ultra calibration signal issues (and issues on the RF input)
Regarding the calibrator output, I have been aware of an artifact. Because I have been doing some measurements (related to the new Fault Finding page, I also decided to catch the artifact

Re: Self-test error and does not continue
It's a varistor diode and unless it fails shorted or high resistance, you can't test it with a DMM.
Entering "diode" in the search box at the top of this page produces a message result that includes

Re: Manual fault finding
Yesterday I have executed the steps on this page. The hint regarding the 0 Hz vertical line is especially helpful. In my case, this vertical line is present, and as such, no complex repair is to being

Re: Self-test error and does not continue
In my case, D4 seems not to conduct current at all. My diode test (DMM, applies 2.5V open voltage) does not show any diode voltage, regardless the direction. Perhaps, it's a bidirectional zener device

Re: Problem with calibration and self test ZS-407
Hm, you're having a newer version of TinyUltra than I have. Yours has a 7.3 GHz Ultra range while mine has 5.3 GHz... (HW v. 0.4.5.1.1 instead of 0.5.4.).

Re: hardware defect
Sorry for the late response.
I have an original product - bought nov. 2023 at ELESHOP, so counterfeit is not an issue.
Thus I got aware of being able to send it in for repair, but - today - after

Re: Self-test error and does not continue
The tinySA Ultra is not an open-source design so its full schematic has not been released to the public.? I believe you have to remove U22 from the circuit instead of just jumping it to verify

Re: Self-test error and does not continue
One more detail, I made a jump on U22, it didn't work, but I made some measurements on the passive components around U22 and verified that Diode D4 is showing a short, I'll try to lift it to confirm.

Re: Self-test error and does not continue
After the U22, it's the pe4312. I managed to find its datasheet. As for the U22, I couldn't find anything, it only has A79 written on its body. Do you happen to know exactly the value of the U22?

Re: USB / Serial connectivity issue
My laptop is usb3 only and I have not had a single connectivity problem at all. So I don’t think that usb3 can be blamed for most issues. Same thing with windows 11 being blamed in the same way.

Indeed something changes below -72 dBm.
That is the reason for the parameter

Re: TinySA Ultra Calibration Fail.
Hi Tom,
Many thanks for your report! I've just ordered and now, I've to wait a little bit to get it in home.
I'll keep you update when I'll replace them.
Best regards from EA1FWI.

Re: TinySA Ultra+ - Signal generator level error
I wonder if there is more going on than simply component spec variations.
From the Spec Sheet for the Signal Generator mode, it says:
"Level accuracy +/- 2dB up to 800Mhz between -72dBm and -19dBm,

Re: TinySA Ultra+ - Signal generator level error
This offset is due to component spec variations
You can correct this offset using the serial USB command

where the correction value is in dB
