    Chapter 2 — Spectrum Analyzer Introduction Spectrum analyzer measurements include the use of additional functions beyond frequency, span, amplitude, and marker functions. Section 2-2 Section 2-3 explain setup procedures and settings for making spectrum analyzer measurements. Section 2-4 through Section 2-8 focus on resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, sweep, attenuator, and detection functions.

  • Page 15: Setting Sweep Parameters

    Spectrum Analyzer 2-3 Making Spectrum Analyzer Measurements Setting Sweep Parameters To set the sweep parameters, press the Shift key followed by the Sweep (3) key. Single/Continuous When this submenu key is pressed, the instrument toggles between single sweep and continuous sweep. In single sweep mode, the instrument waits until the Sweep Once submenu key is pressed or another triggering mode is selected.
  • Page 16 Notes MS2723B and MS2724B instruments use IF frequency of 37.8 MHz rather than the 140 MHz of other Anritsu Spectrum Masters. IF output bandwidth is limited to 16 MHz. For these MS2723B and MS2724B instruments, the BNC connector is labeled IF Out 37.8 MHz.
  • Page 17 Spectrum Analyzer 2-3 Making Spectrum Analyzer Measurements Zero Span IF output effectively uses the spectrum analyzer as a receiver front-end, converting the input signal at the spectrum analyzer RF In connector to a signal centered at 140 MHz out of the IF Out 140 MHz connector. You can then process the IF signal in a way that meets your needs.

    Spectrum Analyzer 2-3 Making Spectrum Analyzer Measurements Gated Sweep (Option 90) To set up the instrument for gated sweep measurements, press the Gated Sweep Setup key under the Sweep menu. The instrument screen changes to a dual graph view that makes it easier to set up the Gate Length and Gate Delay using the time domain/zero span view in the bottom graph while simultaneously viewing the signal spectrum in the top graph.
  • Page 20: Resolution Bandwidth

    2-4 Resolution Bandwidth Spectrum Analyzer Resolution Bandwidth Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) determines frequency selectivity. The spectrum analyzer traces the shape of the RBW filter as it tunes past a signal. The choice of resolution bandwidth depends on several factors. Filters take time to settle. The output of the filter will take some time to settle to the correct value, so that it can be measured.
  • Page 21: Sweep Limitations

    Anritsu products are designed to relieve the user from having to calculate the sweep speed or experiment to discover a sweep speed that yields accurate results. When changing the RBW and VBW, the sweep speed automatically changes to the fastest sweep speed that will yield accurate results.
  • Page 22: Detection

    2-8 Detection Spectrum Analyzer Detection Several detection methods tailor the performance of the instrument to meet specific measurement requirements. In general, several measurement points are calculated for each display point. The various detection methods are different ways of dealing with how measurement point data is shown at each display point.
