SPECTRAL RESOLUTION AND STABILITY ResolutionBandwidths

Eight selectable resolution (3-dB) bandwidths in 1-3 sequence from 1 kHz to 3 MHz. Bandwidth may be selected independently or coupled with frequency span. Optimum ratio of frequency span to resolution bandwidth is indicated by alignment of markers (X)on the two controls.

ResolutionBandwidth Accuracy:

Individual resolution bandwidth 3-dB points:

< 15% (< 30% for 3-MHz bandwidth)

Selectivity:

60-dB/3-dB resolution bandwidth ratio: <15: 1

Stability

For fundamental mixing (n = 1- or 1+):

Residual FM:
Full Span(F)

Entire frequency band displayed with frequency of tunable marker indicated by Frequency GHz readout.

Per Division(MHz/Div, kHz/Div)

14 frequency scale calibrations in 1-2-5 sequence from 10 kHz/div to 200 MHz/div. Center frequency is set with the TUNING control and indicated by the FREQUENCY GHz readout.

Zero Span (0)

Analyzer functions as a manually tuned receiver, at the frequency indicated by the FREQUENCY GHz readout, for time-domain display of signal modulation.

FREQUENCYACCURACYTuning Accuracy

Frequency GHz readout (center or marker fre-

quency), after zeroing on the LO feedthrough:

?

0.01 - 3.0 GHz: (1 MHz + 0.3% of center frequency)

3.0 - 21.0 GHz: & (5 MHz + 0.2% of center

frequency)

<2 kHz p-p in 0.1 second'

Noise Sidebands:

2 7 0 dB down, >30 kHz from center of CW signal with 1 kHz resolution bandwidth and video filter at MAX (not in detent).

Video Filter

Post-detection low-pass filter averages displayed noise for a smooth trace. The MAX (detent) position selects a video filter bandwidth of approximately 1.5 Hz for noise level measure- ment.
