RBWstands for Resolution Bandwidth; it is used to view distinctly two very closely spaced signals in frequency domain. Two input signals can be seen as two spectrum waveforms only if they exceed the 3dB bandwidth of the IF filter. Typically, resolution bandwidth is defined as the 3 dB bandwidt...
The swept-tuned, superheterodyne spectrum analyzer is the traditional architecture and is best suited for observing controlled, static signals. The SA makes power vs. frequency measurements by downconverting the signal of interest and sweeping it through the passband of a resolution bandwidth (RBW) fi...
which is one of nine power measurements in the PowerSuite. Ideally a good signal should not go outside the transmitted channel (purple) into adjacent channels (green). Channel power ratios are shown in the table below the spectrum/channel bar display. ...

Utilizing a low noise/high gain preamplifier, narrowing the resolution bandwidth (RBW) of the RBW filter, and minimizing the input attenuation can improve sensitivity considerably. The dynamic range of the RF signal analyzer, specified in dB, is also important for interference hunting applications ...

A good spectrum analyzer will have a noise floor at 1-GHz and 1-MHz resolution band-width (RBW) of approximately 17 dBmV. The detection limit for a 10-dB margin above the noise floor is: Testing UWB, Part 2: learn more about UWB testing procedures and the latest developments issued by...
