25 Common Things You Can Do With an Arbitrary/Function Generator

An acquisition instrument - usually an oscilloscope or logic analyzer - is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think about making electronic measurements. But these tools can only make a measurement when they are able to acquire a signal of some kind. And there are many instances in which no such signal is available unless it is externally provided.

A Matter Of Time: Today's RF Signals Call For A Different Kind Of Spectrum Analysis

This technical brief discusses the changing nature of today's RF signal. These changes call for a different kind of spectrum analysis, where it was once enough to understand frequency-domain behavior, another dimension, time, has become equally important.

Your Guide to Selecting the Right Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer

Today's RF signals change over time, often unpredictably. To effectively characterize these signals, engineers need a tool that can trigger on both known and unpredictable events, capture the signals seamlessly into memory, and analyze the behavior of frequency, amplitude, and modulation parameters over time.
