This review of two different measurement approaches to spectral emissions shows how an understanding of the test instrument and the signal to be measured can impact measurement speed and accuracy.
Careful observations and measurement practices can help to understand the many error contributors that affect the absolute amplitude accuracy of an RF/microwave spectrum analyzer.
Incorporation of a noise source in a line of modern spectrum analyzers aids tuning of the analyzers front-end preselector filter and improves amplitude accuracy for all input signals.
