TinySA4
A day or two ago I thought I read a message from Erik here in which he referred to a measurement up to more than 4GHz with a TinySA4? and I was excited that I was creating a new 4 "TinySA with a much wider frequency margin. I thought to comment but had to leave. I looked for that message later and I can't find it. I dreamed it, lost it or was it withdrawn? Someone saw it plus?
Thanks

I saw it too... And I ky received my TinySA a week ago after a two month wait!! John Brent On Mon., Apr. 5, 2021, 2:25 p.m. , <franciscm@...> wrote:

Is tinysa4 the new tinsa that Erik is investigating? or... Is there some way of compressed sampling thus increasing the span? or
is it an Erik joke? |
Initially I thought the same as PA0ARR, but frequency translation with a mixer does not extend the span as aciscar indicates. Even if we used a harmonic of the square wave oscillator of the TinySA (for example 700MHz to obtain an offset of 2100MHz) the achievable span could not exceed the maximum of the TinySA (which would triple the frequency jumps). Also, the ending "4" seems to excite our minds eager for bigger screens and margins. Will it be a "probe balloon" to put on our long teeth? In any case, another genius of this instrument and this forum. Congratulations!!
