Performing a Segment-by-Segment Sweep (segment sweep)

Conditions for setting up a segment sweep

The following conditions apply when setting up a segment sweep.

The frequency range of a segment must not overlap with that of another segment. (The

start frequency of a segment must be higher than the stop frequency of the immediately

preceding segment.)

The start frequency of segment 1 must be greater than 300 kHz and the stop frequency

of the last segment less than 3 GHz (E5070B) or 8.5 GHz (E5071B).

When the start frequency and stop frequency of a segment are not the same, you can

define from 2 to 1601 points in a segment.

When the start frequency and stop frequency of a segment are the same, you can define

from 1 to 1601 points in a segment.

You can set the total number of points in the segment table from 2 to 1601.

You can set the number of segments in the segment table to between 1 and 201.

For the segment sweep, you can set the sweep range, the number of points, IF bandwidth,

power level, sweep delay time, sweep mode, and sweep time for each segment.

You can set the items in the following table to ON/OFF for each segment. If you enable the

segment-by-segment setting, you can make the setting for each segment in the segment

table; if you disable it, the setting in the following table is used.
