Reducing the Effect of Spurious Responses

By choosing test frequencies (frequency list mode), you can reduce the effect of spurious responses on
measurements by avoiding frequencies that produce IF signal path distortion.

Eliminating Unwanted Mixing and Leakage Signals

By placing filters between the mixer's IF port and the receiver's input port, you can eliminate unwanted
mixing and leakage signals from entering the analyzer's receiver. Filtering is required in both fixed and
