E-12
Aliasing Filter – D/A Converter, Interpolation Spectra
Note:
Make sure that the measured spurious signal does not come from the analyzer. The following tests
can be performed for this purpose:
-
Switch off the signal from the DUT and repeat the measurement; if the signal remains, it may come from
the analyzer.
- Output the signal from the DUT with a slight frequency offset; if the signal remains, it may come from the
analyzer.
Test equipment Signal analyzer R&S FSQ (table 1-1, pos. 24).
Test setup
Connect the signal analyzer to the RF output of the DUT
.
S
ynchronize the reference frequencies of the DUT and the analyzer.
Test method
Multicarrier CW with two carriers. The carrier spacing is double the test
frequency, and the frequency is varied. The level measured at the
measurement frequency gives the value for the suppression of the
interpolation.
