Measuring Stop Band Attenuation of a Lowpass Filter
When measuring filter performance, it is useful to look at
the stimulus response over a wide frequency range. Setting
the analyzer y- axis (amplitude) to Log scale type presents
the measurement data in a usable format for determining
filter characteristics.
The following example uses the tracking generator to
measure the stop band attenuation of a 370 MHz low pass
filter.
1 To measure the response of a low pass filter, connect the
equipment as shown in Figure 3-20. This example uses a
370 MHz low pass filter.
