Hi Group,
Radios like my FT-757 and FT-101 have an IF output. If I take this
output to a spectrum analyizer and the SA center frequency is set the
same as the IF frequency, will I have a spectrum monitor which will
display over the complete bandwidth?
If so, is the BW of an IF generally large enought to view the complete
band?
You'll see the IF bandwidth if the SA is set that wide or wider; otherwise,
you'll just see the SA bandwidth.
Most receiver IF bandwidths aren't particularly wide; some are, but they're
designed for it. The receiver specs may (and, IIRC, typically do) show IF
bandwidth.
