Tracking Generator - Option R&S FSP-B9
During normal operation (without a frequency offset), the tracking generator emits a signal exactly at the
input frequency of the R&S ESCI.
For frequency-converting measurements it is possible to set a constant frequency offset of ±150 MHz
between the receive frequency of the R&S ESCI and the output signal of the tracking generator.
Moreover, an I/Q modulation or AM and FM modulation of the output signal can be provided using two
analog input signals.
The output power is level-controlled and can be set in 0.1 dB steps in a range from -30 dBm to 0 dBm.
The tracking generator can be used in all operating modes. Acquisition of test setup calibration values
(SOURCE CAL) and normalization using these correction values (NORMALIZE) is only possible in the
NETWORK operating mode.
Note: The RF characteristics of some DUTs is especially sensitive concerning the input VSWR. In
such cases insertion of 20 dB attenuation between the DUT and the tracking generator output is
highly recommended.
The tracking generator is activated by means of the NETWORK hotkey in the hotkey bar at the bottom
of the screen:
