Figure 8-15 Example of Harmonic Distortion Measurement
NOTE If you use the network analyzer as a tuning receiver like a spectrum analyzer, the setting
must be the same at both the frequency point at which the harmonic is generated and the
measurement point. Spectrum analyzers can detect all of the signals residing in the range of
sweep frequencies, but network analyzers can only detect the signals residing in the
measurement frequency point.
NOTE For additional information about the absolute measurements, see Agilent application note
1463-6 “Accurate Frequency-Translating Device Measurements by using the
Frequency-Offset Mode, 5989-1420EN”.
