to
find
the signal
bandwidth at -3 dB below the
marker:
Description
The MKBW command also displays (in the message area) the bandwidth at the power level in
dB
below the current marker position or the current signal peak.
MKBW finds the bandwidth at the specified power level for one measurement sweep. If you
want the spectrum analyzer to find the bandwidth at the specified power level during every
measurement sweep, use the NDBPNT command instead of MKBW.
