Michael Kirkhart
Do you look longingly at spectrum analyzers on the shelf? Have you ever wanted to own one so that you can see the frequencies around you? If this fits you to a, ‘T’, come join the Southeastern Michigan IEEE EMC Society TinySA workshop with Michael Kirkhart KD8QBA, electronics engineer, hacker, amateur radio operator, and lifelong learner.
Michael Kirkhart has worked with antennas, electromagnetic compatibility, and electronics. He understands the nuances of spectrum analyzers and why the TinySA is an astounding tiny device. The TinySA has the ability to act as a spectrum analyzer, a sine or square wave generator, a filter and more!
The workshop will use 6 TinySA Ultras with assorted probes. At the end of the workshop, 6 registered attendees will be going home with the 6 TinySAs and probe sets. The fortunate ones will be picked via a random number generator.

Tiny Spectrum Analyzer (TinySA) workshop
Biography:
Michael Kirkhart is an electronics engineer, hacker, lifelong student, and amateur radio operator. During his career, he has worked in factory automation, vehicle navigation, and RF testing. He currently works in automotive cybersecurity as a penetration tester; this means he gets paid to hack - how cool is that? During his time as an RF test engineer, he used spectrum analyzers as part of his daily work. While "not an expert", he is an experienced spectrum analyzer user, and during this event, he will provide an overview of spectrum analyzers along with specific use cases, all using the (relatively) inexpensive TinySA.
