7.3.2 Limit Lines and Limit Test
The example below shows the definition and use of a new limit line 5 for trace 1 on
screen A and trace 2 on screen B with the following characteristics:
• Upper limit line
• Absolute x-axis in the frequency range
• 5 reference values: 120 MHz/-70 dB, 126 MHz/-40 dB, 127 MHz/-40 dB, 128 MHz/
-10 dB,
129 MHz/-40 dB, 130 MHz/-40 dB, 136 MHz/-70 dB
• Relative y-axis with unit dB
• Absolute threshold at -75 dBm
• No margin
The signal of the integrated calibration source (128 MHz, -30 dBm) is used to check
the limit test.
