7.3.1.2 Shape Factor Measurement (Using n dB Down)
The n-dB-down function of the R&S ESU is used twice to determine the shape factor
of a filter (ratio of bandwidths at 60 dB and 3 dB below the filter maximum).
The following example is again based on a signal with a level of –30 dBm at 100
MHz. The shape factor is determined for the 30 kHz resolution bandwidth. The
default setting of the R&S ESU is used for measurements (SetupInstrument).
