Hi Kim, I've just had a chat with a compliance test lab engineer on this very topic yesterday. He said their measurements have a 3 dB uncertainty between labs. So it world seem when everything is as accurate as possible, 3dB margin would ensure you will always pass, possibly without any margin.

Obviously I can't think of all possibilities, but it seems to me that these sort of situations must be corner cases. After all I have never found myself in a situation where my only options are to hit a person or go down a 300 m cliff at 100 km/h. Further more, I won't be driving at 100 km/h whe

Hi Rich, > ps:  Three or more axes?  I know x, y, and z.  What are the additional axes? I've heard about six axes robots. I think they are the three translational axes, i.e. left/right, up/down, back/forth, and the three rotational axes which may not be aligned with the translational axes. Thin

If none of these meet your needs, you can always find any number of those with a programming API and write a program to do whatever you want. Many support USB interface. You can get a cheap windows tablet as the buzzer and attach to the meter through USB. Best regards, Alfred On May 30, 2016 1

I am just now gotten very interest on this subject. I think you mention a key factor: antenna factor. The SA noise floor unit is dBm. After you have added the antenna factor the unit is dBuV/m. Everything else being perfect, zero loss, 0 dBi antenna gain across frequency, etc., the antanna facto

I don't know your circumstances but I can understand why in some situations adding a resistor help. In many circuits a driver side series termination is part of the circuit design to match the driver impedance to the trace impedance for source termination. The effect of this is that any reflecti
