Source (Internal)
Frequency
Allows you to set the RF Output Frequency. You can adjust the frequency of the source using the
numeric keypad, step keys, or RPG. Pressing any digit, 0 through 9, on the numeric keypad brings up the
unit terminator.
Channel
The frequency of the source can be specified by a channel number of a given frequency band. This key
allows you to specify the current channel number. For the appropriate range of channel numbers for a
given frequency band, refer to the following tables: “GSM/EDGE Channel Number Ranges” on
page 1145, “W-CDMA Channel Number Ranges” on page 1145, “CDMA 2000 / 1xEVDO Channel
Number Ranges” on page 1148, “LTE FDD Channel Number Ranges” on page 1150, “LTE TDD
Channel Number Ranges” on page 1151, and “TDSCDMA Channel Number Ranges” on page 1152.
Notes: The sub-menu under this button is for independent mode and has no effect on
“List Sequencer” on page 1219. If the “Sequencer” on page 1219 is set to ON,
the list sequencer controls the source output and this key will be grayed-out.
And this button will be grey out on front panel to indicate out-of-scope. When
setto Off will make source leave list sequencer and this button will be black
out.
Initial S/W Revision: A.05.00
Key Path: Source, Frequency
Remote Command: :SOURce:FREQuency[:CW] <freq>
:SOURce:FREQuency[:CW]?
Example: SOUR:FREQ 1.00 GHz
Notes: Internal source has list sequence mode, which comprises of several steps
which contain separate output power, frequency and waveform etc. When the
source list sequence playing is complete, the last step keeps playing, and user
can use this command to change the list sequence last step’s output frequency.
Couplings: The frequency value is coupled to the current channel band and number, such
that updates to the band and number will update the frequency value to the
corresponding absolute frequency.
Preset: 1.00 GHz
