HP 8753E manual Measuring Swept Harmonics Option 002 Only, Fundamental frequencies

Measuring Swept Harmonics (Option 002 Only)

The analyzer has the unique capability of measuring swept second and third harmonics as a function of frequency in a real-time manner. Figure 2-56 displays the absolute power of the fundamental and second harmonic in dBm. Figure 2-57 shows the second harmonic’s power level relative to the fundamental power in dBc Follow the steps listed below to perform these measurements.
