R&S FSW-K7
If the DUT inserts a gain or an attenuation in the measurement, this effect can be
reflected in the result display on the R&S FSW. To reflect a power offset in the mea-
surement trace, change the

As described in
ment results are very accurate as long as the same settings are used as for calibration.
Although approximate normalization is possible, it is important to consider the required
frequencies for calibration in advance. The frequencies and levels supported by the
connected signal generator are provided for reference with the interface configuration.
Two different methods are available to define the frequencies for calibration, that is to
couple the frequencies of the R&S FSW with those of the signal generator:
●
Manual coupling: a single frequency is defined
●
Automatic coupling: a series of frequencies is defined (one for each sweep
point), based on the current frequency at the RF input of the R&S FSW; the RF fre-
quency range covers the currently defined span of the R&S FSW (unless limited by
the range of the signal generator)
Automatic coupling
If automatic coupling is used, the output frequency of the generator (source frequency)
is calculated as follows:

The value range for the offset depends on the selected generator. The default setting
is 0 Hz. Offsets other than 0 Hz are indicated by the "FRQ" label in the channel bar
