5.2 Generating an RF Frequency Sweep Signal
The "Sweep" operating mode allows you to generate an RF signal with periodi-
cally varying frequencies or amplitudes.
This example deals with an RF signal with varying frequency and constant level.
To configure the sweep, you need to determine a defined start and end frequency
with constant time intervals between the frequency steps.
The sweep function does not require specific options.
1. On the front panel, press the [Preset] key to set a defined initial instrument
state.
2. Set the signal output level, if required, e.g. set "Level > -25 dBm".
3. In the tile diagram, select "Sweep" > "Frequency Sweep".
4. In the "General" tab:
