Creating, Viewing, and Optimizing Multitone Waveforms
This section describes how to set up, generate, and optimize a multitone
waveform while viewing it with a spectrum analyzer. Although you can view a
generated multitone signal using any spectrum analyzer that has sufficient
frequency range, an Keysight Technologies PSA high–performance spectrum
analyzer was used for this demonstration. Before generating your signal,
connect the spectrum analyzer to the signal generator as shown in
Figure 9-1
Spectrum Analyzer Setup
To Create a Custom Multitone Waveform
Using the
Multitone Setup
table editor, you can define, modify and store
user–defined multitone waveforms. Multitone waveforms are generated by the
dual arbitrary waveform generator.
1.
Preset the signal generator.
2.
Set the signal generator RF output frequency to 20 GHz.
3.
Set the signal generator RF output amplitude to 0 dBm.
