4.13 Basic Measurement
Basic measurements include, input signal frequency and amplitude
display, marked by a frequency marker.
Follow these five simple steps below to implement input signal
measurement.
a) Find the signal frequency at full sweep width;
b) Set the center frequency according to the signal frequency in
step 1;
c) Setting span and resolution bandwidth;
d) Activate marker;
e) Adjust amplitude parameter.
For example, to measure a 100 MHz, -10 dBm signal, you must
turn on the spectrum analyzer and ensure it is warmed up for 30
minutes to ensure measurement accuracy.
1. Equipment connection
Connect the output terminal of signal generator to the RF Input
50Ω connector on the top of the spectrum analyzer. Set the
parameters as follows:
Frequency 100 MHz
Amplitude -10 dBm
2. Setting parameters
1) Press 【Preset】 on the front panel to restore the analyzer to its
factory-defined state. The Spectrum analyzer will display the
spectrum from 9kHz to the maximum span width. The signal
generated will display as a vertical line at 100MHz. Refer to
Figure 4-10.
