Achieving Excellent Spectrum Analysis Results Using Innovative Noise, Image and Spur-Suppression Techniques

The need to measure spurious and harmonic signals is not new. However, emerging requirements include more of these measurements and specify demanding test conditions. In aerospace and defense applications, the task may be a search for known or unknown signals across a broad spectrum. In wireless communications, the need is to characterize increasingly complex devices in an ever-increasing number of conditions and device states—and do so as quickly as possible.
