  • Page 107: Introduction

    This section describes a typical and simple measurement task for an EMI test receiver. Each operating step is explained with the aid of R&S ESU for rapid familiarization of the user without the need to know all the details of the operating functions.

  • Page 108: Performing A Level And Frequency Measurement

    The high speed of fully synthesized scans, the frequency and amplitude accuracy and the wide dynamic range of the R&S ESU EMI Test Receiver are of utmost importance and very useful for these measurements.

  • Page 110 R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Performing a Level and Frequency Measurement 3. Program a SCAN TABLE. Press the SWEEP key. Press the TDOMAIN SCAN softkey A dialog box is displayed where the whole display range can be defined and divided into scan subranges.
  • Page 111 R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Performing a Level and Frequency Measurement Fig. 5-3 Modified SCAN TABLE for preparing a scan After editing the scan subrange, the frequency display has to be adapted to the new settings. The lowest start frequency of the range 1 scan and the highest stop frequency of the subsequently defined subranges are used for defining the start and stop frequencies of the graphics display.
  • Page 112 R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Performing a Level and Frequency Measurement 4. Select the detectors. Up to three detectors can be connected in parallel to simultaneously display the amplitude at every frequency as a function of detector weighting. When a parallel detector is selected, the slowest detector (in the sense of a calibrated measurement) determines the speed or the total measurement time required for the scan.
  • Page 113 R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Performing a Level and Frequency Measurement Press the STOP SCAN softkey. The measurement is aborted. Peak and average results (see Fig. 5-4) should be further analyzed with the aid of the built-in marker functions. Depending on the DUT, diverse trace forms are obtained. For this reason the diagram below should be regarded as an example.
  • Page 114 R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Performing a Level and Frequency Measurement 7. Analyze the level in frequency domain using the marker functions. Alternatively, you can use the peak search functions (see step 8). Press the MRK key. The marker jumps to the largest signal peak shown on the display screen.

One window is displayed on the screen Fig. 5-5 Screen display with marker 9. Set the SPLIT SCREEN function. The SPLIT SCREEN function simplifies the analysis of measured data, particularly at critical frequencies.
  • Page 116 R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Performing a Level and Frequency Measurement 10.Tune the receiver frequency and obtain final test results using the QUASIPEAK detector. The currently measured frequency can be rapidly changed e.g. with the TUNE TO MARKER softkey in the MKR−> menu. Other or additional detectors can be switched on at this receive frequency and an overview of levels of all active detectors is given.
  • Page 117 11.From overview to standard-conformal measurement Data reduction and automatic routines for final measurement The R&S ESU offers several data reduction methods for interactive or automatic final measurements. For details refer to the Operating Manual, chapter 4. Limit lines A final measurement to standard can be performed when active limit lines are displayed in the diagram during the described analysis and measurements are repeated at all critical frequencies using the standard measurement time and a corresponding detector.

    R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Measuring a Sinusoidal Signal 4. Reduce the frequency span (SPAN) to 1 MHz. Press the SPAN key. Using the numeric keypad in the input field, enter 1 and confirm the entry with the MHz key.

  • Page 122: Setting The Reference Level

    (=reference level) or immediately below it. If the reference level that is selected is less than the highest signal that occurs in the spectrum, the signal path in the R&S ESU will be overloaded.

  • Page 123: Measuring The Signal Frequency Using The Frequency Counter

    The frequency sweep is stopped at the marker, and the R&S ESU measures the frequency of the signal at the marker position. In the following example, the frequency of the generator at 128 MHz is shown by using the marker.
  • Page 124 R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Measuring a Sinusoidal Signal Fig. 5-8 Measurement of the frequency with the frequency counter Obtaining a correct result when measuring the frequency with the internal frequency counter requires that an RF sinusoidal signal or a spectral line be present.

  • Page 125: Measuring Harmonics Of Sinusoidal Signals

    Press the START softkey and enter 100 MHz. Press the STOP softkey and enter 400 MHz. The R&S ESU displays the fundamental and the first and second harmonics of the input signal. 3. For maximum sensitivity, set the RF attenuation to 0 dB.

  • Page 126: Reducing Noise

    Markers delta 2 [T1] and delta 3 [T1] show the offset of the first and second harmonics from the fundamental. 5.4.2 Reducing Noise The R&S ESU offers three means of effectively differentiating the harmonics of a signal from the noise: • Reducing the video bandwidth •...

Using the rotary knob (turning it counterclockwise), reduce the video bandwidth to 10 kHz (for example), or enter 10 kHz.

  • Page 128: Measuring Harmonics With Frequency Sweeps

    The sweep time is, therefore, also increased considerably. In this case, the measurement of individual harmonics is carried out with the R&S ESU set to a small span. Only the frequency range around the harmonics will then be measured with a small resolution bandwidth.
  • Page 129 Press the FREQ key. Enter 128 MHz. Press the SPAN key and enter 100 kHz. The R&S ESU displays the reference signal with a span of 100 kHz and resolution bandwidth of 2 kHz. 4. Activate the marker. Press the MKR key.
  • Page 130 R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Measuring Harmonics with Frequency Sweeps 6. Make the step size for the center frequency equal to the signal frequency. Press the FREQ key. Press the CF STEPSIZE softkey and press the =MARKER softkey in the submenu.

    R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Measuring Signal Spectra with Multiple Signals The other harmonics are measured with steps 6 and 7, the center frequency being incremented or decremented in steps of 128 MHz using the up or down arrow key.
  • Page 132 Operating steps on the R&S ESU: 1. Reset the instrument. Press the PRESET key. The R&S ESU is now in the default state. Press the SPECTRUM hotkey. 2. Set the center frequency to 100.015 MHz and the frequency span (SPAN) to 300 kHz.
  • Page 133 The level drop is located exactly in the center of the screen only if the generator frequencies exactly match the frequency display of the R&S ESU. To achieve exact matching, the frequencies of the generators and the R&S ESU must be synchronized.
  • Page 134 R&S ESU Basic Measurement Examples Measuring Signal Spectra with Multiple Signals 4. Set the resolution bandwidth to 100 kHz. Press the RES BW MANUAL softkey and enter 100 kHz. It is no longer possible to clearly distinguish the two generator signals.

Turn the rotary knob counterclockwise until the bandwidth indicates 1 kHz. The two generator signals are shown with high resolution. However, the sweep time becomes noticeably longer (600 ms), since it increases at a rate of 1/RBW .

  • Page 136: Measuring The Modulation Depth Of An Am-Modulated Carrier In The Frequency Domain

    Since the dynamic range of an analyzer is very large, extremely small modulation depths can also be measured precisely. For this purpose, the R&S ESU provides measurement routines that directly output the modulation depth numerically in %.
  • Page 137 Press the MEAS key. Press the MODULATION DEPTH softkey. The R&S ESU automatically sets a marker to the carrier signal in the center of the diagram and one delta marker each to the upper and lower AM sidebands. The R&S ESU calculates the AM modulation depth from the level differences of the delta markers to the main marker and outputs the numeric value in the marker information field.
