Using a tinySA Ultra to tune FM deviation

This video demonstrates how to very accurately tune the deviation of a FM modulator using an audio signal generator.
The method uses the the so called "Bessel null" where the carrier disappears if the FM deviation is 2.405 times the audio modulation frequency.
The video also demonstrates how to set the tinySA for a much faster sweep of a narrow span.

    Thank you. Every one of these demo videos adds to the worth of my TinySA. Its versatility is impressive.

    It has many years since I had to set up deviation on microwave link systems, thank you for the refresher on Bessel functions.

    Yes many many years ago, I also used Bessel null to set microwave TX deviation.

    The SA6 is a scalar 35MHz-6GHz network analyzer where the tinySA Ultra is a true spectrum analyzer, you can not compare them

    Looking for substitute for the Sencore SG165 to do FM Stereo alignment on vintage receivers. Is there any thoughts about upgrading the TinySA Ultra to provide FM Stereo Signal outputs with the 19Khz pilot signal?

    in the limitations is quoted that in ultra mode the measurement of wide band signals (above 600kHz wide) can fail. These wide signal may appear at wrong frequencies. Does it mean that last correctly detectable signal is GSM, as bandwidths of services above that are in MHz bandwidths?
