3 VMA Mode
3.6 Occupied BW Measurement
–
NORMal - mathematically removes all image and multiple responses of signals
present at the input
–
ADVanced - any trace processing (such as “max hold” or trace averaging) is
performed on the points of both candidate traces before the “select minimum”
operation occurs. This form of processing works better for non-stationary
signals, such as pulsed-RF signals

SW Preselection BW
Specifies the effective bandwidth to be used for Software Preselection.
The options are:
–
NORMal – when making Swept measurements, a software preselection algorithm
is used which takes up to 4 background acquisitions, then post-processes the
result. This algorithm can remove images from signals with an occupied
bandwidth up to around 3GHz. (Default/Preset setting). When making FFT
measurements, this algorithm is not used, instead the same algorithm is used as
for NARRow (below)
–
NARRow– a software preselection algorithm is used which takes two background
acquisitions, then post-processes the result to detect and remove images from
wideband signals with occupied bandwidths up to 2GHz. This increases the risk
of images failing to be rejected, but improves the measurement speed
