FUNDAMENTALS OF MODERN SPECTRAL ANALYSIS Matthew T. Hunter, Ph.D. AGENDA • Introduction • Spectrum Analyzer Architecture • Dynamic Range • Instantaneous Bandwidth • The Importance of Image Rejection and Anti-Aliasing • Conclusion The Spectrum Analyzer • Fundamental Task – Measure signal power vs. frequency • Traditionally accomplished with Swept Spectral Analysis (SSA) • Advances in digital technology have led to the prevalence of FFT- based analysis The Digital Revolution • Majority of Spectrum Analyzer (SA) functions can now be done digitally – RBW filtering – Video detection – Logarithmic processing • All Digital IF processing means more flexibility – The SA can be a VSA, measuring receiver, etc… Dynamic Range • The ratio in dB, of the largest to the smallest signals simultaneously present at the input of the SA that allows measurement of the smaller signal to a given degree of uncertainty [10]. • It has been asserted that digitally implemented SSAs provide better dynamic range performance than FFTSAs [11] SSA Dynamic Range • The Argument – An SSA can have a very narrow IF bandwidth – Thus, AGC can be used to adjust the signal level into the ADC such that the signal is quantized with the max number of bits – Level adjustment is also done in FFTSAs, but BW is typically wider • Likelihood of a strong signal being present with a weak signal is greatly increased
