Figure 7-56: Intermodulation-free dynamic range as a function of level at the input mixer and of the
selected resolution bandwidth
(Useful signal offset = 10 to 100 kHz, DANL = -145 dBm/Hz, TOI = 15 dBm; typical val-
ues at 2 GHz).
If the intermodulation products of a DUT with a very high dynamic range are to be
measured and the resolution bandwidth to be used is therefore very small, it is best to
measure the levels of the useful signals and those of the intermodulation products sep-
arately using a small span. The measurement time will be reduced, in particular if the
offset of the useful signals is large. To find signals reliably when frequency span is
small, it is best to synchronize the signal sources and the R&S FSW.
