Using Markers
To Search for
Bandwidth Values
NOTE
The bandwidth search function is intended for transmission or power measurements in log mag format
only.
The bandwidth search feature analyzes a bandpass hlter and calculates
the bandwidth, center frequency, and Q (see note below) for the specified
bandwidth level. (The default bandwidth search level is -3
dB.)
The
bandwidth information is displayed in the upper-right corner of the
network analyzer screen. The bandwidth feature puts marker 1 in delta
marker mode. (Delta marker mode is explained later in this chapter.)
NOTE
Center frequency is defined as the halfway point between the left and right bandwidth cutoff
points.
Loss is the amplitude of the center frequency marker.
Q
stands for ‘quality factor,” and is defined as the ratio of a circuit’s resonant frequency to its
bandwidth. Your analyzer calculates
Q
as the center frequency divided by the bandwidth.
