Nice video, I have two questions:
1. Why the measure channel power is reduced as you lower the reference level? Let's say -10dbm reference, Is is because the noise floor is too close to the bottom(-110dBm) so that the result is inaccurate?
2. 4:15, when you remove the attenuation (from 10dB to 0), I expect the measured channel power will increase, but it actually drops 10dB, how is that happening?

So the noise floor is measured at -166dBm/Hz, and kTB = -174dBm/Hz. Does that mean the SA has a NF = 8dB?

@5.42min, It should be turn the PSD on.
