Abstract :
Interference and coexistence issues among devices deploying wireless communications are becoming more and more intrusive. The analysis of such phenomena can be carried out employing high frequency Spectrum Analyzers (SA). In this paper, performances of the main architectures of SA are experimentally analyzed and compared, in order to obtain helpful hints to choice the most suitable instrument for diagnosis purposes.
