The International Microwave Symposium is always fun, and it was no different in Philadelphia this year. Getting to the show, however, was a different story.
VITA 49 functionality is now a part of our SM200A 20 GHz spectrum analyzer’s API. Learn more about it in this post.
2018 is shaping up to be a pretty big year for Signal Hound. Between new products and a new office space/manufacturing facility, there’s lots in store!
Editor’s note— This is a rather high-level article explaining the major setbacks in the launch of our SM200A 20 GHz spectrum analyzer. In addition to being transparent about the delay, we hope to offer some valuable technical information for those planning or troubleshooting their own electronics manufacturing processes. We’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do Okay, …
While not a sweeping update to the spectrum analyzer software, Spike 3.1.7 does bring quite a few changes to the table – especially in the area of EMC precompliance testing. Satisfying one of our most requested features, EMC Precompliance analysis mode now offers more configurable path loss tables—twice as many, in fact—for a total of …
We’re happy to finally offer something that’s been on our To-Do list for quite a while now—powerful, fully functional Signal Hound virtual instrument drivers for the industry-standard LabVIEW® software from National Instruments®. These free drivers offer a direct connection to the functions of the Signal Hound API within the context of the LabVIEW visual programming …
Earlier in 2016 we published a series of blog posts introducing real-time spectrum analysis to those who may not fully understand its many concepts. It is a four-part series covering topics such as the basics of spectrum analyzers, channel power, occupied bandwidth, and real-time analysis, amongst others. Last month, we condensed those posts into a …
Glen Gassaway of Southwest EMI in Mesa, Arizona, recently reviewed the new EMC precompliance analysis mode in our Spike software. The verdict? Well, we like this quote: “Throughout the evaluation, I had absolutely no issue with the software hanging up or lagging. All measurements I took seemed very reasonable. The EMC module is well written …
Today marks a significant day in the lifespan of our Spike software. EMC Precompliance is now available as an “Analysis Mode” in the software when connected to a BB60C or BB60A spectrum analyzer. And… we hit version 3.1.0—our first major step up from Spike 3.0! EMC / EMI Precompliance Features in Spike Many of our …
These are our kind of people Our industry is an interesting one. Test and measurement equipment doesn’t quite reach the excitement levels of consumer electronics (wink wink), but without it, the consumer electronics probably wouldn’t make it out to, well, the consumers. If consumer electronics are a niche, then we’re definitely a niche within a …
