Measuring Harmonics (Option 002)

The analyzer has the capability of measuring swept second and third harmonics as a function of frequency
in a real-time manner. By using trace math, the second/third harmonic response can be displayed directly in
dBc (dB below the fundamental or carrier). The ability to display harmonic level versus frequency or RF
power allows "real-time" tuning of harmonic distortion.
