The Practical Spectrum Analysis seminar provides a broad framework of general procedures and principles that can be applied to any spectrum analyzer application and instrument type. The presentation uses discussion, lecture, and measurement illustrations. There is no hands-on practice because of the wide variety of applications.
Most of the first day is spent on learning effective and efficient spectrum analyzer use no matter what your spectrum analyzer application. Most of the second day is spent relating these procedures to actual measurement needs. About one quarter of the two days is spent on topics chosen by the participants. So bring your questions, and you'll leave with the answers.
Complex RF/Wireless signals got you down? Then look no further! This seminar will introduce you to the spectrum aspects of digital modulation test and analysis involving:
- CDMA, TDMA, Spread Spectrum, and other signals.
- Adjacent channel power and occupied bandwidth issues.
- Gated sweep and zero-span measurements.
- And much, much more. Choose the topic and we'll discuss it!
EMI got you in trouble? Don't know a quasi-peak from a FCC mask? Come to this seminar and find out what to do:
- Learn about narrowband and broadband signals.
- Learn about conducted and radiated interference.
- Learn about QP and CISPR measurements.
- Name your question. We have the answer!
Don't know what to ask? Don't know what to do? We'll take care of you if it has anything to do with signal spectra or spectrum analysis. You'll learn:
- To identify CW, impulsive, and random signals.
- The appropriate spectrum analyzer settings and measurement procedures for these signals.
- The three steps in proper signal measurement.
- Signal intercept constraints such as dynamic range and sensitivity.
- About advanced measurement enablers such as digital averaging and mathematical functions.
- To recognize measurement traps.
- Why you should sometimes turn the video filter "on" when you need it to be "off", and vice versa.
- Details of intermodulation distortion measurement.
- How to identify and avoid gain compression due to broadband impulsive signals.
- How to accurately measure signals with amplitude close to the noise level.
- How to determine impulse bandwidth.
- About random noise correction factors.
- When to treat a pulse as a broadband and when as a narrowband signal.
- The many ways to deal with an FM signal.
- When and how to use a preamplifier.
- How to measure phase noise.
- How to select instrumentation for digital modulation signals.
You'll learn this and much, much, more!
Here's an idea of what you'll receive at this seminar:
- $200 worth of reference materials, including the two reference books Modern Spectrum Analyzer Theory and Applications and Modern Spectrum Analyzer Measurements. The Microwave Journal states that these books "provide the latest and most complete information on the subject."
- A 164-page seminar workbook.
- Lunches both days as well as break refreshments.
- Two days of seminar instruction.
- Answers to your prepared topics and questions.
- An opportunity to consult with your seminar leader, Morris Engelson, regarding your spectrum analyzer measurements and applications.

Spectrum Analysis Seminar Registration
This is not an ordinary seminar where a number of people can be trained to present the material. This seminar and consultation has only one presenter, and he can't go everywhere. Chances are that he will not return to the currently scheduld locations for some time.
If you're interested in the subject of these seminars but the timing or location doesn't work for you, consider a private presentation at your facility. Timing and subject matter can be tailored to your specific needs and could save you money if enough people are involved. Let us know of your interest and JMS will respond with a detailed proposal for your consideration. Click the button below for more information.
