Fig 11-5 RBW Accuracy Testing Setup
1) Connect the test instrument as shown in Fig 11-5. 1) The spectrum analyzer provides a reference frequency for
the signal generator.
2) Set the synthesized signal generator as follows: frequency: 100 MHz, power:-2 dBm and power step: 1 dB.
3) Reset the spectrum analyzer and press the [measure] [OBW] key to turn on the measured bandwidth. The
measurement method selects X dB and changes X to -3.01 dB.
4) Set the spectrum analyzer as follows: center frequency: 100 MHz, span: 30 MHz, amplitude scale: 1 dB/div,
RBW: 10 MHz, with other items as the system default settings.
5) Adjust the output power of the synthesized signal generator to make the signal below the reference level by 2 to
3 divisions.
6) Search the peak for the 4041 series, records the 3 dB bandwidth marker differential reading Δf
-3dB
at this time,
calculate the RBW accuracy δ as follows, and fills in the calculated results to the corresponding item in the 4041
Series Spectrum Analyzer Record Sheet.
