The lines between spectrum analyzers and receivers have grown very fuzzy,
but in the "old days" the biggest difference was that a receiver had a
narrow band tuned front end and an S.A. had a broadband one. This makes
the S.A. more susceptible to out of band interference. I certainly

Hello Group,
For EMC measurements (co
Receivers have better dynamic range in the presence of strong signals
because they have a tuned front end. A receiver can get better frequency
accuracy on a wide sweep because there is no quantization error (the

Hello Group,
For EMC measurements (conducted and radiated emissions), electromagnetic
fields measurements (via antennas), what is the difference between using a
EMI Receiver or a Spectrum Analyzer??
Some guesses that I've been thinking are:
