Configuring the RF Output
Chapter 2 25
List Sweep
List sweep allows you to create a list of arbitrary frequency, amplitude, and dwell time values
and sweep the RF output based on the entries in the List Mode Values table.
Unlike a step sweep that contains linear ascending/descending frequency and amplitude
values spaced at equal intervals throughout the sweep, list sweep frequencies and amplitudes
can be entered at unequal intervals and nonlinear ascending/descending or random order.
For convenience, the List Mode Values table can be copied from a previously configured step
sweep. Each step sweep point’s associated frequency, amplitude and dwell time values are
entered into a row in the List Mode Values table, as the following example illustrates.
Configuring and Activating a Single Step Sweep
In this procedure, you will create a step sweep with nine, equally spaced points and the
following parameters:
• frequency range from 500 MHz to 600 MHz
• amplitude from
−
20 dBm to 0 dBm
• dwell time 500 ms at each point
1. Press
Preset.
2. Press
Sweep/List.
This opens a menu of sweep softkeys.
3. Press
Sweep Repeat Single Cont.
This toggles the sweep repeat from continuous to single.
4. Press
Configure Step Sweep.
5. Press Freq Start > 500 > MHz.
This changes the start frequency of the step sweep to 500 MHz.
6. Press
Freq Stop > 600 > MHz.
This changes the stop frequency of the step sweep to 600 MHz.
7. Press
Ampl Start > −20 > dBm.
This changes the amplitude level for the start of the step sweep.
8. Press
Ampl Stop > 0 > dBm.
This changes the amplitude level for the end of the step sweep.
