Tracking Generator (Models 13, 16 and 28) R&S FSL
1300.2519.12 4.134 E-11
Tracking Generator (Models 13, 16 and 28)
During operation the tracking generator emits a signal exactly at the input frequency of the R&S FSL.
The tracking generator can be used in all measurement modes. Acquisition of test setup calibration
values (see Source Cal softkey) and normalization using these correction values (see Normalize
softkey) is only possible in the tracking generator measurement mode. For details on measurement
modes refer to "Measurement Mode Selection – MODE Key" on page 4.129.
FFT filters (for details see "To choose the appropriate filter type" on page 4.19) are not available if the
tracking generator is active.
For measurements with running tracking generator it is recommended to set the start frequency to 3 x
resolution bandwidth in order to meet the data sheet accuracy.
Note: The RF characteristics of some DUTs are especially sensitive concerning the input VSWR. In
such cases insertion of 10–20 dB attenuation between the DUT and the tracking generator
output is recommended.
To open the tracking generator menu
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Press the Tracking Generator softkey.
The tracking generator menu is displayed.
