A Detection Measurements
For the majority of measurements, AC detection is still the preferred method.
AC detection oers greater sensitivity and immunity to noise and drift across
time and temperature. AC detection amplitude measurements with this scalar
network analyzer system require a modulation envelope. his envelope is
provided through a 27.778 kHz square wave amplitude modulation of the RF
test signal. est set connections vary depending on the source. Figure 3-2
depicts a typical measurement setup. he 27.778 kHz modulation is supplied by
the sweep oscillator.
