2. Inserting the Micro SD Card

The device comes with a pre-installed 32GB Micro SD card. If you need to remove or replace it, gently push the card into its slot until it clicks, then release to eject. Ensure the device is powered off before inserting or removing the SD card.

3. Connecting Antennas/Probes

Depending on your measurement requirements, connect the appropriate antenna or probe to the RF input/output ports. Use the provided SMA cables and adapters as needed. Ensure connections are secure but do not overtighten.

4. Powering On/Off

Press and hold the power button (location typically on the side or top) for a few seconds to power the device on or off. A short press may activate/deactivate the screen backlight or put the device into standby mode.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Navigation

The TinySA Ultra is operated primarily via its 4-inch touch screen. Tap icons and menus to select functions, adjust parameters, and navigate through settings. A stylus is provided for precise input.

2. Spectrum Analyzer Mode

In Spectrum Analyzer mode, the device displays the frequency spectrum of an input signal. You can adjust parameters such as:

• Frequency Range: Set the start and stop frequencies for the scan (100kHz to 5.3GHz).
• Resolution Bandwidth (RBW): Adjust RBW (down to 200Hz) to distinguish adjacent signals effectively. This is crucial for detailed analysis, including SSB two-tone intermodulation tests.
• Attenuation: Control the input signal level to prevent overload.
• Markers: Use markers to pinpoint specific frequencies and measure their amplitude.

3. Signal Generator Mode

The TinySA Ultra can also function as a signal generator. To activate this mode, navigate to the appropriate menu option. You can generate various signal types:

• Sine Wave Output: From 100kHz to 800MHz (MF/HF/VHF bands).
• Square Wave Output: From 800MHz to 4.4GHz (UHF band).
• Mixed Signal Output: Between 4.4GHz and 5.4GHz.

4. Signal Receiver Capabilities

The device includes a built-in Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and attenuator, enhancing its capabilities as a signal receiver. This allows for measurements with a noise floor of 92dBc@10kHz and a Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL) of -166dBm/Hz.

5. PC Connection and Data Transfer

Connect the TinySA Ultra to your computer using the USB-C cable. The device supports connection with the TinySA-APP, compatible with macOS, Linux, and Windows operating systems. This allows for:

• Direct data transfer to your computer for enhanced analysis.
• Synchronization of the device's display screen to your computer.

6. Data Storage

Measurement data can be saved directly to the built-in 32GB Micro SD card. This allows for convenient data sharing and storage without immediate PC connection.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Gently wipe the device's screen and body with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays, as these can damage the device.

Battery Care

• To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place if not used for extended periods, with the battery partially charged (around 50%).
• If the battery performance significantly degrades, contact customer support for assistance.
