3 Making Measurements

5Press [Sweep] > {Sweep Time (Auto)} to put the sweep time into stimulus response auto coupled mode.

6Increase measurement sensitivity and smooth the noise:

Press [BW/SWP]> {RBW} >30 > {kHz}

Press [BW/SWP] > {VBW} > 30 > {kHz}

A decrease in displayed amplitude is caused by tracking error.

7Connect the cable from the tracking generator output to the analyzer input. Store the frequency response in trace 4 and normalize:

Press [MEAS] > {Normalize} > {Store Ref} (1 → 4) > {Normalize (On)}

8Reconnect the DUT to the analyzer and change the normalized reference position:

Press [MEAS] > {Normalize} > {Norm Ref Posn} > 8 > [ENTER]

9Measure the rejection of the low- pass filter:

Press [Marker] > {Normal} > 370 > MHz, {Delta} > 130 > {MHz}

The marker readout displays the rejection of the filter at 130 MHz above the cutoff frequency of the low- pass filter.
