Description
This
softkey
optimizes the tracking of the swept signal generator’s
output filter to the oscillator. Use it to maximize RF power output.
The swept signal generator displays:
Peaking At : XXXXX MHz,
where XXXXX represents frequency values. Peaking begins at
the low frequency end and steps through to the high end of the
frequency range. Auto Track is complete when the display returns
to its original state. On swept signal generators without a step
attenuator provide a good source match on the RF connector. Use
a power sensor or a 10
dB
attenuator. If a good source match is
not provided, the swept signal generator can
mistrack
because of
excessive reflections at the output.
