3-5.4 SWEEP GENERATE Mode
The SWEEP GENERATE Mode (figure 3-8) pro-
vides a sweep generator function with variable
level, rate, and bandwidth. A sweep generator is
invaluable when m
easuring and troubleshooting
many types of RF filters and frequency variable
networks such as IF filters, RF preselectors,
duplexers and cavity resonators.
To sweep test connect the GEN output port to the
input of the network under test.
To facilitate display of swept responses of
networks under test, the units built-in scope
display can be accessed by selecting SWEEP
GENERATE within the "Display:" field. A
suitable RF detector probe should be used to
connect from the output of the circuit under test
to the VERT/SINAD/DIST input port (refer to
ordering instructions provided in the front portion
of this manual for recommended accessory RF
detectors). The scope's horizontal sweep tracks
the sweep of the RF Generator, thus allowing a
frequency domain analysis of filterfilters, RF
front ends, duplexers, etc.
