Forgive me if this isn’t the correct forum to ask this question – I didn’t see another forum that appeared more appropriate. I’m curious about the dynamic range spec of the SM200A. More specifically, how is dynamic range defined for the analyzer? For example, if when in full spectrum scan mode (20 GHz), if each tune is say 160 MHz wide (125 tunes / sweep), can the analyzer distinguish a -130 dBm signal from a -20 dBm signal within the same tune? I’m assuming a very small RBW has to be used to get the noise floor down, but if you can scan 20 GHz once / second with 1khz bins and get 110 dB of dynamic range within a tune, then I’m going to do everything I can to get my company to buy one! That would seem to imply some extremely high performance A/D device that I’m not aware of. Thanks ahead of time for answering.
