6 Spectrum Analysis
The R&S RTH provides several forms of spectrum analysis:
●
Basic FFT calculation, which is included in the firmware
●
Spectrum analysis option R&S RTH-K18, which provides a wide range of analysis
possibilities, for example, peak search and cursor measurements.
●
Harmonics measurement option R&S RTH-K34, which provides an overview and
characteristic details on the harmonics contained in the measured signal
● FFT Mode..............................................................................................................107
● Spectrum Mode (Option R&S RTH-K18)...............................................................114
● Harmonics Measurement (Option R&S RTH-K34)................................................131
6.1 FFT Mode
The new FFT mode is included in the standard R&S RTH installation and allows you to
perform FFT analysis directly on the instrument. During FFT analysis, the captured sig-
nal in the time domain is converted to a spectrum of frequencies. As a result, the mag-
nitude of the determined frequencies can be displayed.
6.1.1 Accessing the FFT Mode
1. Press the [MODE] key.
2. Select "FFT".
A power vs. frequency (spectrum) diagram is displayed, and the spectrum of the
currently captured data is analyzed, if available.
6.1.2 Display and Control
The FFT display shows a power vs. frequency (spectrum) diagram and relevant analy-
sis parameters. FFT results are useful to obtain an overview of the input signal in the
frequency domain and to detect unusual signal effects (such as spurs or distortions)
visually.
