Measurement of Occupied Bandwidth
An important characteristics of a modulated signal is its occupied bandwidth. In a radio communications
system for instance the occupied bandwidth must be limited to enable distortion-free transmission in
adjacent channels. The occupied bandwidth is defined as the bandwidth containing a defined
percentage of the total transmitted power. A percentage between 10% and 99.9% can be set on the
R&S ESCI.

The OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH softkey activates
measurement of the occupied bandwidth according to the
current configuration and opens the submenu for configuring
the measurement. The softkey is available only in frequency
domain (span > 0) and is highlighted when the measurement
is switched on.
In the spectrum display mode, this measurement determines
the bandwidth that contains a predefined percentage of the
power of the displayed frequency range (

softkey). The occupied bandwidth is output in
the marker display field and marked on the trace by
temporary markers.
Note: - The softkey is only available in the frequency
domain (span > 0).
- The measurement is performed on the trace
with marker 1. In order to evaluate another
trace, marker 1 must be placed on another trace
by means of SELECT TRACE in the MKR menu
OCCUP BW

The OCCUP BW ON/OFF softkey switches measurement of the occupied
bandwidth on or off.

% POWER
BANDWIDTH
The % POWER BANDWIDTH softkey opens the entry of the percentage of
power related to the total power in the displayed frequency range which defines
the occupied bandwidth (percentage of total power).
The valid range of values is 10% to 99.9%.

CHANNEL
BANDWIDTH
The CHANNEL BANDWIDTH softkey opens an input window for defining the
channel bandwidth for the transmission channel. For measurements in line with
a specific transmission standard, the bandwidth specified by the standard for the
transmission channel must be entered.
The default setting is 14 kHz.
The specified channel bandwidth is used for optimization of the test parameters
of the R&S ESCI with
ADJUST SETTINGS.
