Figure 129 Using the Spectrum Analyzer with the Tracking Generator
The Tracking Generator performs a frequency sweep operation. The start and stop
frequencies are determined by the Main Menu
Span setting. This allows you to
characterize devices (such as filter networks) over a wide span of frequencies.
An RF offset can be set between the Tracking Generator and the center frequency
of the Spectrum Analyzer. This allows you to look at a signal that is related to a
source whose frequency is outside of the displayed span.
Amplitude
This field sets the amplitude of the Tracking Generator.
Operating Considerations
This field operates independently of the RF Generator’s amplitude settings in
other screens.
If a microphone is connected, and the amplitude is off, keying the microphone
causes the amplitude to turn on to its previous level until the microphone is no
longer keyed.
