Figure 2-28. Bandwidth Filter Slope Measurement

8.Compute the detection slope of the 30 Hz filter between the markers by dividing the MARKER A amplitude by the MARKER A frequency:

filter slope = MARKER A amplitude/MARKER Afrequency = dB/Hz

9.Press SWEEP [CONT),(mj IOFF).

10.Change FREQUENCY SPAN] to 0 Hz. Readjust FREQ ZERO, if necessary, to position the trace at the center graticule line. The amplitude variations of the trace (see Figure 2-29) represent the analyzer residual FM.
