Tip: You can change to point based x-axis to improve the display of a segmented fre-
quency sweep (see "Seg X-Axis" on page 401).

Power
In a "Power" sweep, the internal generator power is swept in dB-linear, equidistant
steps over a continuous power range. The generator power range (sweep range) and
the fixed frequency can be specified in the "Stimulus" settings (see
Chapter 6.8.1,
"Stimulus Tab" , on page 384).
"Power" sweeps are particularly suitable for the analysis of non-linear effects (satura-
tion, compression) on active and passive DUTs (e.g. power amplifiers, mixers).
In a Cartesian diagram, the measurement result is displayed as a trace over a dB-lin-
ear power scale. The following example shows a "Power" sweep in the source power
range between
–
25 dBm and 0 dBm, performed at a CW frequency of 1 GHz.

CW Mode
"CW Mode" sweeps, like Time sweeps, are performed at constant frequency and stim-
ulus power, which can be specified in the "Stimulus" settings (see Chapter 6.8.1, "Stim-
ulus Tab" , on page 384).
