GENERAL INFORMATION
1-13
RF spectrum analyzer
Frequency Range 100 kHz to 1.0 GHz
Spans Continuously variable,
1 kHz / division to 100 MHz / division.
1, 2, 5, 10 increments.
Start / Stop facility allows selection of infinitely variable span
width.
Resolution Bandwidth 300 Hz, 3, 30, 300 kHz, 3 MHz
Reference Level (top of screen) −50 dBm to +52 dBm
0.7 mV to 71 V
Displayed dynamic range 80 dB
Noise floor Typically 75 dB below top of screen
On Screen Linearity Typically ± 2 dB ±resolution (10 dB/div)
(>10 dB above the noise floor)
Vertical resolution 0.1 dB on 2 dB / division
0.5 dB on 10 dB / division
Level Flatness ± 1 dB ±resolution over 50 MHz span
Intermodulation Distortion Better than 70 dB for two signals at −30 dBm into first mixer
Sweep speeds 10 ms/div to 200 ms/div in a 1, 2, 5 sequence (optimum sweep
speed and bandwidth selected according to span, or user-
selectable)
