Tuning
The tuning range of the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) source must be
commensurate with the frequency stability of the sources being used. If the
tuning range is too narrow, the system will not properly phase lock, resulting
in an aborted measurement. If the tuning range of the VCO source is too large,
noise on the control line may increase the effective noise of the VCO source.
Computer
