Demonstrations
Demonstration 1:
Getting started
The signal under test is simply a
continuous-wave (CW) RF signal from
the MXG. Recommended settings
for signal generator are 1 GHz center
frequency and –10 dBm RF output
level.
Instructions
Keystrokes
On the MXG signal generator
Preset the MXG
[Preset]
Set up the signal under test at 1 GHz
center frequency and –10 dBm output
level
[FREQ] [1] {GHz}; [AMPLD] [-] [10] {dBm}
Turn off modulation
[Mod On/Off] and ensure the LED under the key
is off
Turn on RF output
[RF On/Off] and ensure the LED under the key
is lit
On the X-Series signal analyzer
Switch to Phase Noise mode
[Mode] {Phase Noise}
Set the signal analyzer with a carrier
frequency of 1 GHz and an amplitude
reference level of 0 dBm
[FREQ Channel] {Carrie Freq} [1]{GHz}; [AMPTD
Y Scale] {Ref Value} [0] {dBm}
View the signal at spectrum domain
using “Monitor Spectrum”. It is
always a good idea to use the moni-
tor spectrum measurement to make
sure your X-Series signal analyzer set
to the right frequency.
