I personally have had a preference for
analog Spectrum analyzers for measurements.
I've always had trouble accepting sampling
rates, windowing, ... of the digital SA's.
I have used recievers only twice. But that's
just me. If I can measure the same field
strength with a digital SA or analog SA or
a reciever, so what?
Well, the "so what" is why I'm asking two
questions:
(1) Given the same EUT setup <whatever you
want it to be> and the same antenna setup
<again, whatever you want it to be>,
Which would you choose
digital SA (dSA),
analog SA (aSA),
or reciever?
(2) Given the same EUT setup <whatever you
want it to be> and the same antenna setup
<again, whatever you want it to be>,
how close should each measurement made by
dSA, aSA, or reciever be?
Identical?
