Resolving Signals of Equal Amplitude
In this example a decrease in resolution bandwidth is used in combination with a decrease in video bandwidth to resolve two signals of equal amplitude with a frequency separation of 100 kHz.
Notice that the final RBW selection to resolve the signals is the same width as the signal separation while the VBW is slightly narrower than the RBW.
1Connect two sources to the analyzer input as shown below.

3Setup the analyzer to view the signals:
•Press [PRESET].
•Press [FREQ] > {Center Freq} > 300.05 > {MHz}.
•Press [SPAN] > {Span} > 2 > {MHz}.
•Press [BW/SWP] > {RBW} > 30 > {kHz}.
