hi Bob, wish I had your patience and Money :-) Or maybe you have mine lol... I guess you're in one camp or the other, I'll stick to Agilent. I could never get used to reverse polish logic either, despite being told how much better it was As for a click receiver, check out the PMM, I have,

Chris, Of the analyzers I have used, I like the RS ESI the most. Expensive, though. It took me a while to warm up to it, it was a lot different than any of the HP/Agilents that I have used (859x, 8566, 740x). The 740x is also nice analyzer. I use that to perform the conducted immunity level

Preference for spectrum analyzers and network analyzers are like computers, some like PCs some like Apples. Which is better? Depends on the person and intended use. Dennis Ward Director of Engineering American Certification Body Certification Resource for the Wireless Industry

Hi Barry, Having ridden in a BMW @ 120+ I can truly say that it wasn't a comfortable experience, in fact it's a common recurring nightmare along with falling off structures. The same is not true for Audi, but my point was about perception. As for the RS? Thats an opinion formed by using it,

Derek; you wrote: As for RS. Well I think of them like BMW's. All image Very expensive image... When you want to feel comfortable driving at 220+ km/h (136 mph, for the metric-challenged), the image of BMW (or Audi, or...) becomes a very desirable reality ... Maybe the same can be said

I like the 7405a EMC SA to 26.5 GHz. We have a compact 3m. I've added cones and tiles to make a semi FAC. While the NSA is just about in, it is somewhat different than the OATS we have. How do you do a NSA without the 4m scan? Think out of the box! It is still not valid, but for engineer

Hi Jim, First. Get the conflict of interest warning out of the way... Second. Almost everything you need answers to are one of the reasons we set up EMC LAB Services. Suggest you contact Wally Pilat there. I'm still using my 8566 SA's. As yet they still do everything I need. I had the collie

Good luck Jim… We moved one two years ago and that pain is still fresh in my mind. The only advice I can offer on that is to label everything and take plenty of notes/pictures. While I won’t be moving a chamber anytime soon, we are trying to get approval to replace the same, aging 856x
