Optimizing Measurements
Increasing Network Analyzer Dynamic Range
To Reduce the Receiver Noise Floor
Receiver dynamic range is improved by reducing the system bandwidth
and by increasing the averaging factor.
Changing System
Bandwidth
Reducing the system bandwidth lowers the noise floor by digitally
reducing the receiver input bandwidth. As system bandwidth is reduced,
more receiver measurements are used per frequency point, increasing
the sweep time. However with system bandwidth reduction, unlike
averaging, only one sweep is required for the reduced noise floor effect.
The analyzer offers a choice of six system bandwidths: wide, medium
wide (default setting), medium, medium narrow, narrow, and fine.
