&lt;p&gt;You can set the nRF52832 in a continuous wave mode where it generates a constant carrier on one of the supported channels, but the resolution is only 1MHz, and the accuracy is set by the 32MHz crystal used.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Normally these crystals are only required to have an accuracy of +/- 50ppm or better, which means that a carrier at 2.4GHz could have up to 120kHz drift in one direction or the other.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I don&amp;#39;t think the nRF device is able to do what you need.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part of the reason spectrum analyzers are expensive is the level of accuracy and precision they must be built to in order to be useful for RF testing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;br /&gt;Torbjørn&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
