Can the SSA3000X Plus, SSA3000X-R, or SVA1000X series analyzer automatically measure the quality factory (Q) of a filter?
April 13, 2021
Yes. NOTE: This is not currently available on the SSA3000X series. The quality factor of a filter is defined as: Q = Center frequency/Bandwidth From the SSA3000X Plus, X-R, SVA1000X Series Manual: You can find the automatic Q measurement in the Measurement function menu. Press the Maker Fn button > Select N dB BW … Continued
External Clock Details for Siglent Spectrum Analyzers (SSA3X, SSA3X Plus, SVA1X, and SSA3X-R Series)
March 25, 2021
1-5Vp, 10MHz +/- 100 ppm (Sine preferred) This indicates that the external clock can be “off” from 10 MHz by +/- 100 ppm. All frequency measurements are scaled according to the clock. If the clock is not 10 MHz, then the frequencies indicated on the instrument will also be off.

Updated Frequency Uncertainty Calculations (SSA, SSA Plus, SVA)
August 26, 2020
Currently listed datasheet calculation for SSA Frequency Uncertainty is being updated, but as of 08/26/2020, it has not. Here is the new calculation: We can use below new specification: ± (frequency indication × frequency reference uncertainty + 1/2(span/(sweep points-1)) + 10% × resolution bandwidth + marker resolution) For example: The frequency indication is 500 … Continued

How to view multiple traces without all of them using the QuasiPeak Detector setting
March 19, 2020
The SIGLENT SSA3000X, SSA3000X Plus, and SVA1000X products all have an EMI option that adds a Quasi- Peak detector selection. The Quasi Peak detector is an integrating detector type that will automatically apply to all active traces on the analyzer. To prevent existing traces from being overwritten with the Quasi Peak detector data, please follow … Continued
Which values do I enter for antenna correction factors on my spectrum analyzer?
December 27, 2019
If you have an antenna with calibration data, chances are it includes a number of columns of data. One column should be the frequency being tested. The others can include free-range performance, gain, and more. For reference, Antenna Factor (or correction factor) is defined as the ratio of the incident Electromagnetic Field to the output voltage … Continued
