Measuring Multiple Signals
Resolving Small Signals Hidden by Large Signals
6 Set the 300 MHz signal 
peak to the reference level.
• Press Peak Search, Mkr → Ref 
Lvl. 
The Signal Analyzer 30 kHz 
filter shape factor of 4.1:1 has 
a bandwidth of 123 kHz at the 
60 dB point. The 
half-bandwidth, or 61.5 kHz, 
is NOT narrower than the 
frequency separation of 
50 kHz, so the input signals 
can not be resolved. See 
Figure 2-9.
Figure 2-9  Signal resolution with a 30 kHz RBW
7 Change the RBW. • Press BW, Res BW, 10, kHz.  The reduced resolution 
bandwidth filter allows you to 
view the smaller hidden signal.
8 Place a delta marker on the 
smaller signal.
• Press Peak Search, Marker Delta, 
50, kHz.
Notice that the peak of the 
signal has become two peaks 
separated by a 2.5 dB dip 
indicating that two signals 
may be present. See.Figure 
2-10.
