Dual-Band RF Spectrum Analyzer Reference Design

Description

The SA13x0 Spectrum Analyzer is a SimpleLink™ CC13x0-based reference design can be  used to implement an easy and affordable tool to jumpstart RF development in both Sub-1 GHz and 2.4GHz frequency range.More and more electronic devices include a built-in RF link but the equipment to design and debug such systems can be very expensive. The CC13x0-based spectrum analyzer provides an affordable development tool that reduces the time needed on expensive measurement equipment. The system is recognized as a USB device and is operated from a powerful yet simple graphical user interface that is available for free to download.

Features
  • Based on the SimpleLink™ CC13x0 ultra low power wireless MCUsSA13x0 supported frequency ranges:431 - 527 MHz861 - 1054 MHz2152 - 2635 MHzOpen source QT-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)Flexible GUI allows developers to set desired frequency range and amplitude to measureConfigurable to show continuous sweep readings or single snapshotsUp to 4 traces can be visualized on the GUI: which can be configured to show maximum: average: or actual readingsMarkers are available for easy measurement readings. These markers can be controlled manually using a jog wheel: or dynamic based on auto peak detection.
