Line Sweep Fundamentals In wireless communication, the transmit and receive antennas are connected to the radio through a transmission line.
Page 148 4-2 Line Sweep Fundamentals Cable & Antenna Analyzer Measurements The performance of a transmission feed line system may be affected by excessive signal reflection and cable loss. Signal reflection occurs when the RF signal reflects back due to an impedance mismatch or change in impedance caused by excessive kinking or bending of the transmission line.
Page 149: Cw Mode
Cable & Antenna Analyzer Measurements 4-3 CW Mode CW Mode CW mode can be used to maximize sweep speeds of both frequency and DTF measurements. With CW on, sweep times can be twice as fast as with CW off. However, making measure- ments with CW on will reduce the instrument’s immunity to interfering signals.

Measurement Mode Introduction This chapter provides a description of Spectrum Analyzer measurements and procedures when the LMR Master S412D is in Spectrum Analyzer Mode. Measurement Fundamentals Measurement fundamentals include the use of additional spectrum analyzer functions beyond frequency, span, amplitude and marker functions. In particular, this section focuses on resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, sweep, and attenuator functions.

“smeared” look to it, with the spectral lines being wider than normal and shifted to the right. Fortunately, the Anritsu Handheld Spectrum Analyzer has mechanisms designed into it that relieve the user from having to calculate the sweep rate. When changing the RBW and VBW, the sweep rate will change accordingly.
Page 159: Attenuator Functions
Spectrum Analyzer Measurement Mode 5-3 Preamplifier Attenuator Functions Attenuation adjusts the hand held spectrum analyzer input attenuator. In Auto mode, as the reference level is increased, the attenuation is increased. In Manual mode, the input attenuation can be adjusted using the keypad or the Up/Down arrow key. The attenuator range is 0 to 51 dB, in 1 dB steps.
Page 160: Preamplifier Measurement Example

Turn the preamplifier on. When the preamplifier is ON, the word AMP should appear in the lower left corner of the display. The displayed noise level should be lowered by approximately 20 dB on the display, and the signal should appear on top of the displayed noise.
Page 162: Dynamic Attenuation Control
5-6 Dynamic Attenuation Control Spectrum Analyzer Measurement Mode Dynamic Attenuation Control The dynamic attenuation control feature tracks the peak input signal level and automatically adjusts the attenuator to protect the S412D in situations of high RF signal levels. This feature also enhances the instrument sensitivity in situations of low-level RF signals by deactivating and activating the internal preamplifier resulting in improved measurement accuracy.
Page 163: Selecting The Signal Standard And Channel
Spectrum Analyzer Measurement Mode 5-7 Selecting the Signal Standard and Channel Selecting the Signal Standard and Channel Before making measurements, the LMR Master can be set to the appropriate wireless network air interface standard and channel number.

Page 209: Offset
CW Signal Generator Mode (Option 28) 14-4 Offset 14-4 Offset The offset in CW Signal Generator Mode allows the connection of an attenuator after the divider to obtain the level after the attenuator. For instance, if the instrument reads about –73 dBm, and a 40 dB pad is placed between the divider and the DUT, the instrument would still read –73 dB even though the level to the DUT is –113 dB.
