3-7 VNA Key Functions - Sweep Menu
RF Immunity
Press the soft key to select
technique to improve immunity to interfering signals. Selecting
dithering on. Selecting
Selecting RF Immunity Normal reduces sweep time (increases sweep speed) for both
frequency and DTF measurements. In a controlled environment, this reduced
immunity should not be a problem. In the field however, there can be stray signals from
nearby or co-located transmitters that can affect frequency and DTF measurements.
Making the same measurement with RF Immunity set to both High and Normal with
no appreciable difference between the two settings is a good indicator that it is safe to
make the measurements with RF Immunity set to Normal.
Data Points
Press the soft key to select
before or after calibration. The VNA Master uses the highest setting of 551 data points
for calibration regardless of the display setting.
Power
With 2-port measurements, the power level can be changed between High and Low
output power. Press the soft key to select
allows for 2-port measurements where the output level could saturate an active device,
such as an amplifier. High (approximately 0 dBm), can be used for all other
measurements. Output power levels can only be changed for 2-port measurements. The
power level is set to High for 1-port measurements.
Bias Tee
The Variable Bias Tee Option (Option 10) is available for all models of the VNA Master.
