What is the Difference Between Network and Spectrum Analyzers?

Frequency

SPECTRUM ANALYZER 9 kHz - 26.5 GHz

Measures known signal

Measures unknown signals

Network analyzers: measure components, devices,

circuits, sub-assemblies contain source and receiver display ratioed amplitude and

phase(frequency or power sweeps)

offer advanced error correction

Spectrum analyzers: measure signal amplitude

characteristicscarrier level, sidebands, harmonics...)

can demodulate (& measure) complex signals

are receivers only (single channel) can be used for scalar component test

(nophase) with tracking gen. or ext. source(s)

signal level

Effective Level of Displayed Noise is a Function of RF Input Attenuation

Signal-To-Noise Ratio Decreases as RF Input Attenuation is Increased
