App Note: Revolutionizing Aerospace and Avionics Work Flows with Signal Hound spectrum analyzers

A thorough understanding of RF interference mitigation is a necessity when working in an aerospace environment.

Avionics equipment must operate within performance specifications and must not radiate unwanted RF interference. This requirement isn’t left until the last minute. Engineers are constantly simulating, evaluating and bench testing designs throughout the process. High-performance real-time spectrum analyzers (RTSAs) are a critical component of this design effort.

This application note from Signal Hound shows an example of using a spectrum analyzer to “see” RF signal emissions and comprehend how devices may be generating unwanted radio frequency interference (RFI) – a critical process for RF interference mitigation in aerospace-related engineering activities.
