Reference Level
Defines the expected maximum reference level. Signal levels above this value may not
be measured correctly, which is indicated by the "IF OVLD" status display ("OVLD" for
analog baseband or digitial baseband input).
Defines the expected maximum reference level. Signal levels above this value may not
be measured correctly, which is indicated by the "IF OVLD" status display.
The reference level is also used to scale power diagrams; the reference level is then
used as the maximum on the y-axis.
Since the R&S FSW hardware is adapted according to this value, it is recommended
that you set the reference level close above the expected maximum signal level to
ensure an optimum measurement (no compression, good signal-to-noise ratio).
Note that the "Reference Level" value ignores the Shifting the Display (Offset). It is
important to know the actual power level the R&S FSW must handle.
For details see chapter 6.4.1.1, "Reference Level", on page 393.
Note that for input from the External Mixer (R&S FSW-B21) the maximum reference
level also depends on the conversion loss, see "Reference level" on page 362.
