Hi Daniele, Jim, LF, Am 08.11.2010 16:47, schrieb Daniele Tincani: Also consider that when I created a short circuit on the antenna input of the rx (see Q2 in my e-mail), I got a response curve on Sp
Hi Daniele that looks like what I would expect...it looks like you are "doing it right", I am not sure but 50mV (probable +3dB for open circuit might be a high level to hit the BBB-4 it might be wort
Hello Stefan, LF, VLF, now next questions: :-) 1) is the noise of the active antenna well below the typical band noise? 2) is the dynamic range large enough to manage the strongest hum levels at my l
Hello Stefan, LF, VLF, SS> So just look at 9 kHz without the generator and then increase the noise gernerator level so that the noise increases say 20 dB. DT> OK I started with the minimum adjustable
Hi Daniele, OK now. So you have done it right. The generated noise is well above the noise of the soundcard+the noise of the antenna. And the noise of the soundcard+the noise of the antenna is well a
Stefan, the soundcard is a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI. The sample rate is 48KHz at 24 bits/sample (as configured on SpecLab, but the same is reported by both Windows and M-Audio control panels). The
Hello Jim, and first of all thank you very much for your help. The Agilent was set for an amplitude of 50mVpp but I don't know if this setting applies to noise generation as well (I think I should st
Hi Daniele, -148 dB is a very low noise level for a soundcard! But what is the sample rate and FFT settings? I remember you have a good one, not just a PC internal or cheep USB card... Again, what ha
Hi Daniele, Hmm, consider Alans ideas too. Maybe he is right about the generator. I am wondering too, why the maximum gain is at 2 kHz. Ehm, how does the Spectrum look if you connect the generator to
Dear Daniele, LF Group, The info missing from your test is what noise output level the Agilent AWG is set to - I imagine this would be volts RMS over some noise bandwidth. The -114dB level you quote
Hello Alan, LF, VLF, thank you very much for your suggestions about how to perform more sensible measurements. The Agilent 33120A is a general-purpose function generator. Among other functions, it is
