Description

SYNTHESIZER

LEVEL GENERATOR

P.

A frequency synthesizer and pulse/function generator are used to input pulses to the spectrum analyzer. The amplitude of the pulses is measured, and the impulse bandwidths are calculated for each impulse bandwidth from 3 MHz to 1 kHz. The 6 dB resolution bandwidths are then measured using the spectrum analyzer @iZZiZK~ function. The CAL OUTPUT signal is used as a stable signal source to measure the 6 dB resolution bandwidths.
