3.2 Sweep and Function Settings

3.2.1 BW
Set the RBW (Resolution Bandwidth), VBW (Video Bandwidth) and detector type parameters of
the analyzer.
RBW
Set the desired resolution bandwidth in order to distinguish between signals which are close in
frequency.
Key Points:
Reducing RBW will increase the frequency resolution, but will increase the sweep time
(Sweep Time is affected by a combination of RBW and VBW when it is in Auto mode).
RBW decreases with the span (non-zero span) in Auto RBW mode.
You can modify this parameter using the numeric keys, knob or direction keys. For more
details, please refer to "Parameter Setting".
Note: if detector type is "Quasi-Peak" or filter type is "EMI", RBW can be 200 Hz, 9 kHz or 120
kHz only.
