See Fig. 2-6. Signal Application The application of any RF signal to the Type 491 is deter- mined by its frequency and level. Signals between 10 MHz and 275 MHz are applied to the Band A, BNC connector.
Page 17
Signal input power to the analyzer should not exceed -30 dBm. Signal above this level will overload the 1st mixer and/ or the 1st IF stage and generate spurious signals on the dis- play. Add at least 10 dB of attenuation to the input when the signal begins to compress (no increase of signal amplitude with an increase of signal level).

Pulse Modulated Signal Spectrum When a CW signal is pulse modulated, the carrier is per- iodically turned on and off. The on period is determined by the modulating pulse width, the off periods is related to the pulse repetition rate or frequency. The carrier is usually modulated with rectangular shaped pulses.
