Determine the Right Step to be Set
Number of frequency step can be calculated by using equation below:
Step = f
stop
– f
start
+ Interval
Interval
where,
Step = Number of frequency step
f
start
= Frequency sweep’s start point
f
stop
= Frequency sweep’s stop point
Interval = Frequency step size
Example
When f
start
= 1 GHz and f
stop
= 5 GHz with given interval of 0.5 GHz, the
Step
should be set to
Step
= f
stop
– f
start
+ Interval
Interval
= 5 GHz – 1 GHz + 0.5 GHz
0.5 GHz
= 9
