Decreasing the Resolution Bandwidth
Resolution bandwidth settings affect the level of
internal noise without affecting the level of
continuous wave (CW) signals. Decreasing the RBW
by a decade reduces the noise floor by 10 dB.
1 Refer to
page 49, and follow steps 1, 2 and 3.
2 Decrease the resolution bandwidth:
•
The low level signal appears more clearly because
the noise level is reduced.
