2. Set the center frequency to 128 MHz and the frequency span to 100 MHz:

a) Press the FREQ key and enter "128 MHz".
b) Press the SPAN key and enter "100 MHz".

Figure 6-25: Sine wave signal with low S/N ratio. The signal is measured with the auto peak

detector and is completely hidden in the intrinsic noise of the R&S

ESR.

3. To suppress noise spikes the trace can be averaged.

a) Press the TRACE key.
b) Press the "Trace Wizard" softkey.

The Trace Wizard dialog box opens.
