 I need to check the emission of my custom nrf52832 board design and I need an spectrum analyzer... To see if my design would pass the regulations and tests. 
 I was looking for a cheap spectrum analyzer but I can&amp;#39;t find opinions or recomendations</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 13 Oct 2016 10:09:04 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/16970/cheap-spectrum-analyzer" /><item><title>RE: cheap spectrum analyzer</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/65094?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Oct 2016 10:09:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3d094768-e1b9-416a-9320-319f356f466b</guid><dc:creator>vea45</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you!

&lt;p&gt;A spectrum analyzer will therefore need to cover as many of the following frequencies:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the harmonics, the following frequencies will typically be of interest (center frequency): 4.88 GHz, 7.32 GHz, 9.77 GHz, 12.2 GHz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For RX LO, RX LO and 2*RX LO (4.88 GHz) need to be checked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, it can also be nice to be able to measure the output power from the chip.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From what I can see, it looks like Triarchy has some cheaper spectrum analyzers. I haven&amp;#39;t tested them, so I don&amp;#39;t know anything about them other than their specifications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
