loop bandwidth for the fast-tuning
choice, which is a compromise
between tuning speed and phase
noise, giving good tuning speed at all
offsets. Although not as good as for
"Best Close-in" on page 1838; this is
useful when you have to look across a
wide range of spans
(available, for example, in MXA for
excellent phase noise)
Span > 22 MHz, or
RBW > 400 kHz, or
CF ≤ 12 MHz and Span < 495 kHz and
RBW < 23 kHz

All Other Models
Note that in these models, the
hardware does not actually provide for
an extra-fast tuning option, so the
settings for "Fast Tuning" on page
1839 are actually the same as "Best
Close-in" on page 1838, but the rules
are implemented this way so that the
user who doesn't care about phase
noise but does care about tuning
speed doesn't have to remember
which of the other two settings gives
faster tuning
Span > 12.34 MHz, or
RBW > 250 kHz, or
Source Mode is set to “Tracking”

In all the above cases:
–
The RBW to be used in the calculations is the equivalent –3 dB bandwidth of the
current RBW filter
–
The rules apply whether in swept spans, zero span, or FFT spans
