Experiment 1: Basic Operation of a Spectrum Analyzer

Relevant
information

In addition to the sky, oceans and forests, there is an

invisible, intangible, inaudible and complex electromagnetic
network in our living environment. This network is intertwined
with wireless signals of various frequency bands. Although
these signals are invisible and intangible, we can use a spectrum
analyzer to understand and analyze these wireless signals.

In this experiment, the GSP-730 spectrum analyzer is used

to capture some wireless signals in the environment. This
experiment will help students to become familiar with using
spectrum analyzers as well as to arouse their curiosity in the
field of RF signals.

goals

To become familiar with how to use the GSP-730 and how to

use parameter settings such as frequency, amplitude and
markers.

Experiment
principles

Spectrum analyzers are mainly used to measure physical

quantities such as the frequency and amplitude of a signal. For
basic operation, the frequency range must be set first, then the
reference level amplitude.
