Making Measurements
What You’ll Learn in This Chapter
This chapter demonstrates spectrum analyzer measurement techniques with examples
of typical applications; each application focuses on different features. The measurement
procedures covered in this chapter are listed below.
n Measuring amplitude modulation using the fast Fourier transform function.
w
Stimulus-response measurements using the built-in tracking generator (Option 010 or 011).
n Demodulating and listening to an AM or FM signal (Option 102 or 103 only).
w
Triggering on a selected line of a video picture field (Options 101 and 102, or Option 301
only).
n Making a reflection calibration and measurements.
w
Using the Gate Utility to simplify time-gated measurements (Option 105 only).
w
Using the time-gated spectrum analyzer capability (Option 105 only).
n Using the one-button measurements to measure N
dB
bandwidth, percent amplitude
modulation, and third order intercept
(TOI).
w
Using the power measurement functions to make transmitter measurements.
