Figure 8-14: Logarithmic x-axis scaling: the distance between sweep points is variable
In the spectrum from 10 Hz to 100 Hz, the distance is a few Hz. Between 100 MHz and
1 GHz, the distance is several MHz.
Thus, for logarithmic x-axis scaling, the number of sweep points must be sufficiently
high in order to distinguish high frequencies precisely. The resolution bandwidth should
cover at least one sweep point (that means: the distance between two sweep points
should not exceed the RBW). If this condition is not met, signals or interferers could be
missed, especially narrowband interferers.
