Measuring FM Deviation using the MIN/MAX Method (030b)

In this video I will be showing you how to measure FM Deviation using what I call the "MIN/MAX" Method.

This provides the *peak-to-peak* deviation. If you are interested in the *peak* deviation, then divide by 2.

To do this you will need a Spectrum Analyzer.

Yes, I *did* notice that the MIN hold envelope for this radio is a bit funky. Normally they will be very similar to the MAX Hold trace, just narrower. I don't know what is up with that....yet.
