Spectrum Block
The Spectrum block shows the power over frequency spectrum with different trace types and can handle up two different sources (e.g. Rx1 & Rx2)
Left hand side Input:
- Spectra 1
- Spectra 2
The Spectrum block offers a nearly endless setup and measurement configuration menu
for a perfect measurement and a fantastic spectrum view.
Here is an example of what it can do:
- Handle over 20 different trace types (e.g. quasi peak, period buffer, max fall, outline, pulsed shape)
- Add up to 200 Markers
- Powerful multi-marker measurement layout and tools
- Powerful reference trace (trace copy) handling
- Trace import and export
- Multi input handling (show two different sources at the same time)
- Real-Time spectrum zoom feature
- Deep memory FFT support with up to 1 Million bins resolution (offering a super high resolution spectrum with "endless" zoom)
Because the list of feature is almost endless its better to show you the power of this block based on some screenshots.
A typical spectrum view with some markers. This is how it should be: A clear but fully flexible layout and all information you need at a glance:
A super high resolution RF spectrum: Our Spectrum block can hold over 1 Million points so you can zoom in and see details like you've never seen before e.g. this is a 100kHz zoom from a 250MHz RTBW live spectrum (see https://v6-forum.aaronia.de/forum/topic/new-high-resolution-spectrum-waterfall-deep-memory-zoom-up-to-1-million-points/)
Need more markers for Bluetooth measurements? No problem, with the Spectrum block its possible:
Or how about a LTE Quasi Peak (QPeak) measurement?
Or how about comparing the two different Rx input signals?
Typical Missions:
NEW: The Spectrum block now includes two additional Spectra outputs:
You can either use this as a switch (Select from Spectra input 1-2) or as a powerful RF mirror glas feature since the spectra output can be limited with the new Output Range (cursor, view or marker) if you activate the Frequency Zoom:
Above screenshot is based on this typical mission:
The following video demonstrates this new feature: https://youtu.be/8dSwqC-NWsg
NEW: The Spectrum block now includes a "simple" channel power (same as the Channel Power block but limited in function) within the trace menu.
You can setup your own channels, select a profile (and use those channels) or use the cursor for a live channel at the cursor location. In addition we included a powerfull shape, modes and color control for the channels:
We added a Half Power Bandwidth Measurement to the marker section:
