Making Measurements
This chapter demonstrates spectrum analyzer measurement
techniques with examples of typical applications. Each application
focuses on different features of the Agilent 8560 E-Series and EC-Series
spectrum analyzers. The measurement application and procedures
covered in this chapter are:
• Resolving Closely Spaced Signals (with Resolution Bandwidth)
• Improving Amplitude Measurements with Ampcor
• Modulation
• Harmonic Distortion
• Third-Order Intermodulation Distortion
• AM and FM Demodulation
• Stimulus-Response Measurements
• External Millimeter Mixers
• Adjacent Channel Power Measurement
• Power Measurements Functions
• Time-gated Measurement
• Making Time-Domain Measurements Using Sweep Delay
• Making Pulsed RF Measurements
