Digilent Discovery 2 - Spectrum Analyzer

[gibby]

Perhaps a simple question but has anyone tried adding an antenna to the spectrum analyzer inputs to check radiated emissions?

Hi @gibby,

I'm not certain what radiated emissions you have in mind, but the MTE flywires themselves can act a bit like antennas but you'll then run into bandwidth limitations (depending of course what frequency range you're looking for). Using the BNC Adapter (or a device built with BNCs and high bandwidth, https://digilent.com/reference/test-and-measurement/analog-discovery-pro-5250/fm-radio) might end up getting you some better results.

You may find this Forum thread from a number of years back of interest:

Let me know if you have any questions or if I'm completely misunderstanding your question.

Thanks,
JColvin
