Freq & Span Menu
In the Freq & Span Menu the range of frequencies to sweep are specified. The SignalHawk can
sweep frequencies between 100 kHz and 3.6 GHz.
Frequencies can be selected at spans from 1 kHz up to the entire range of the instrument.
These frequencies can be set to sweep by one of the following methods:
•
Set the Center Freq and Freq Span.
•
Set the Start Freq and Stop Freq.
•
Select the Full Span of the instrument.
•
Select a band from the Freq List.
The most common of these methods is to set the center frequency and a frequency span (a
range) and let SignalHawk calculate the start and stop frequencies for the sweep. Reducing the
span, by default (with RBW and VBW, both on auto mode) will usually speed up the sweep,
provide more detail, and lower the noise floor. Unless specified otherwise, set the center
frequency to the center of the signal being measured.
