Measuring Swept
Harmonics
The
analyzer
has
the
unique capability
of measuring
swept second
and third
harmonics as
a
function
of
frequency
in
a
real-time
manner.
Figure 2-47
displays the
absolute power
of the
fundamental
and
second
harmonic
in
dBm.
Figure 2-48
shows the
second harmonic's
power
level
relative
to
the
fundamental
power
in dBc
.F
ollow the
steps listed
below to
perform these
measurements
.
