For more details on how to measure the phase noise of a 
signal, please refer to “Measuring Phase Noise” on page 53.
Maker Trace
Auto 1 2 3 4
Activates a marker on the trace if there are no markers 
turned on. If a marker is currently active, press Marker Trace 
until  1,  2,  3, or 4  is underlined: the active marker moves to 
the selected trace.
Selecting  Auto  mode moves the marker to the automatically 
selected trace. The trace selection is to look for the lowest 
numbered trace in the following mode order: Clear-write, 
Max-hold, Min-hold and View. If there are no traces in any of 
these modes, it selects trace 1.

Optimize 
Phase Noise
This softkey is valid only when span fall in the 
range of 100 Hz and 100 kHz. Once enable this 
softkey, 1st LO Loop filter bandwidth will be 
changed from 5 kHz or so to 120- 150 kHz 
automatically, which optimizes the phase noise 
close in to the carrier.

NOTE
Optimize Phase noise (On) will worsen phase noise far away from the 
carrier. If you pay more attention to phase noise far away from the carrier, 
select Optimize Phase noise (Off).
