Frequency Accuracy Measurements & Calculations with Spectrum Analyzers
Conclusion:
In this lab I learned to perform calculation and measurement of frequency accuracy of the
spectrum analyzer. There are a lot of accuracy specs to the spectrum analyzer. Due to the
age, type of components, warm up time, all these factors can affect the accuracy of the
reading. So to become more accurate, there are some calculations to see whether or not
the analyzer is within a good accuracy range. I learned what frequency reference
accuracy, span error, resolution bandwidth are so I can apply them to an equation that
will help me find accuracy. Aside from the calculations, there is also a way I learned to
find the accuracy from the analyzer itself. The two methods of finding accuracy yields
very close results with the measured slightly more accurate.
