TinySA Ultra+ ZS406 Spectrum Analyzer, 4.0 Inch 100kHz to 5.4GHz Handheld Tiny Frequency Analyzer with 32Gb Card, 2-in-1 Signal Generator MF/HF/VHF UHF Input,V0.4.6.1,2025 Upgraded

Works properly and as expected. Was able to use it to analyze signals from wifi, car key fobs, and vco output well. Does the job of a spectrum analyzer without having to pay thousands for a professional one.

good piece of equipment easy use good accuracy

I bought this to keep in my laptop bag for quick frequency scans at broadcast sites. I am surprised it works so well! In one instance, I used it to investigate interference to the LTE cellular band (720MHz), and was able to not only identify the source, but also confirm corrective actions were successful. I upgraded the software to allow for use past 1GHz and was able to clearly view an L-band signal out of a satellite LNB (~1100MHz). The screen is small and navigating the menus is a little awkward at times using the included pencil, but it's fine in most cases. And remember this is not a $15k analyzer, so the VBW, RBW and sweep times are not going to compete with one that is priced 1000x more. But for something that is small enough to fit in your hand, runs on batteries (for quite a while, honestly), and does a good enough job for most simple tasks, you can't beat it. Don't forget to buy a few SMA adapters, too.

I'm still in the process of evaluating the Ultra's capabilities. But, a few initial thoughts. A person that is used the original TinySA can operate and calibrate the Ultra out of the box. I note that an actual operation manual specifically for the Ultra seems to be unavailable, so a person new to the TinySA will have to look through the original TinySA manual and gather bits and pieces on TinySA website for the additional features of the Ultra. They refer to groups.io for a knowledge base and I have experienced mixed results. The waterfall of the Ultra seems not as clear and distinct as the original TinySA. On the bench, the Ultra is reasonable for most spectrum analyzer applications, but not the precision of commercial equipment. In summary, a reasonable value for cost and small enough to fit in your hand, a useful tool in my tool box for sure. Cheers!

I love this device. Sole people say they are too small. But they must have gotten the smaller version. It does more than I know how to do. I use mostly to test antenna SWR and it works great for that. I wish I knew more about the other functions as I know it can do a ton of stuff. It’s great to run a wide sweep of an antenna. It actually helped me finally determine a mobile antenna was bad. Not that mount as I previously thought.

We used this SA to diagnose and correct interference from TV stations that was interfering with a wireless mic system. By seeing where the interference was, we were able to move our wireless channels around the problem areas. It works well in the handheld mode (easy to control the touch screen with the included stylus) and even better when connected through the PC app. The controls (frequency range, RBW, VBW) are straightforward and produce scans that compare with much more expensive SA's. The only problem we ran into was with the PC app: After changing a setting such as frequency or RBW/VBW we sometimes needed to restart the scan or power-cycle the SA to reconnect the USB port. Otherwise, though it works great and is a great value for the cost.

This is a great upgrade to the original TinySA. The bigger screen is much better for use, the case is way more professional and durable. Operation is improved in nearly every way. A lot of built in measurements have been included with the Ultra version. This one does appear to be a "Real one" and not a clone. I was able to burn the newest firmware in it and it seems to work fine. Inside the build quality is very nice with good soldering, etc. There seems to be good programming support with some easy to use Python code and a decent TinySA application (that you can also use to update the firmware). Overall - for the cost, I certainly would buy this again. Edit - I just completed a Measurement Level Calibration Verification against my calibrated 4 GHz Signal Generator. The TinySA Ultra meets specifications (quoted as +/- 2dB). My test setup has a measurement uncertainty of +/-0.5 dB not including mismatch error to the TinySA, so it did really well! (See attached figure).

Un buen grupo de buenas caracteristicas de medicion muy utiles en el trabajo de campo. Tan pequenho que lo puedes tener en la palma de tu mano y con todo lo necesario para realizar mediciones basicas e intermedias de calidad
