Making Measurements Using Spectrum Analyzer Mode

What You’ll

Learn in This

Chapter

This chapter demonstrates spectrum analyzer measurement techniques with examples of typicaI applications; each application focuses on different features. The measurement procedures covered in this chapter are listed below.

•Measuring amplitude modulation using the fast Fourier transform function.

•Stimulus-response measurements using the built-in tracking generator (Option 011).

•Demodulating and listening to an AM or FM signal.

•Triggering on a selected line of a video picture field.

•Using the Gate Utility to simplify time-gated measurements.

•Using the time-gated spectrum analyzer capability.

•Using the one-button measurements to measure N dB bandwidth, percent amplitude modulation, and third order intercept (TOI).

•Using the power measurement functions to make transmitter measurements.

To find descriptions of specific spectrum analyzer functions refer to Chapter 6 “Key Descriptions”.
