5.10.3  Sweep Type tab
Defines the sweep variable (frequency/power/time), the position of the sweep points
across the sweep range, and some aspects of sweep execution.

Lin Freq
In a linear frequency sweep, the stimulus frequency is swept in equidistant steps over
the continuous frequency range. The frequency range (sweep range) and the internal
generator power can be specified in the "Stimulus" settings (see Chapter 5.8.1, "Stimu-
lus tab", on page 522). The step width between two consecutive sweep points is con-
stant and given by <Span>/(n - 1) where n is the specified "Number of Points" (n > 1).
"Lin Freq" is the default sweep type. In a Cartesian diagram, the measurement result is
displayed as a trace over a linear frequency scale (as known, e.g., from spectrum ana-
lyzers). The following example shows a "Lin Freq" sweep with the forward transmission
parameter S
21
 as measured quantity, and a "dB Mag" scaled y-axis.
