New Entry and Editing of Transducer Factors
A transducer factor is characterized by
• reference values with frequency and transducer factor (Values)
• the unit of the transducer factor (Unit) and
• the name (Name) to distinguish between the different factors.
During the entry, R&S ESCI checks the transducer factor according to specific rules that have to be met
to ensure trouble-free operation.
• The frequencies for the reference values always have to be entered in ascending order. Otherwise,
the entry is not accepted and the following message is displayed:
Frequency Sequence!
• The entered frequencies do not necessarily have to be set at R&S ESCI, as only the values for the
frequency display range are considered for a set sweep or scan. The minimum frequency for a
reference value is 0 Hz, the maximum frequency 200 GHz.
• The minimum or maximum value for a transducer factor is -200 dB or 200 dB. The unit "dB" means
that the transducer factor is always logarithmic and has nothing to do with the physical transducer
factor, which, for example, establishes the relationship between field strength and voltage into 50
Ohm. If the minimum or maximum value is exceeded, R&S ESCI signals:
Min Level -200 dB or
Max Level 200 dB.
• Amplifiers have a negative transducer factor, attenuation values have to be entered as a positive
transducer factor.
Note: The softkeys for the unit in the menu under key AMPT are inoperative with the transducer
switched on.
