How to search for signals
The application allows you to search for a carrier signal, instead of defining the
carrier frequency manually.
1. Enter the "Overview" dialog box, and from there, enter the "Frequency" dialog
box.
2. Turn on the "Auto Search" feature (it is on by default).
3. Define the frequency range in which the search should take place ("Start" and
"Stop"). By default the search is done in the maximum frequency range sup-
ported by the hardware.
4. Define a "Threshold" for the search. Signals below the threshold are ignored
during the search.
When the application finds a signal with appropriate characteristics, it starts a
phase noise measurement in the
you have defined.
Note
: Automatic signal search is only available in phase noise and pulsed
phase noise measurements.
How to define a carrier frequency manually
When you already know the frequency of the carrier signal, you can define it man-
ually and reduce the measurement time.
1. Enter the "Overview" dialog box, and from there, enter the "Frequency" dialog
box.
2. Turn off the "Auto Search" feature.
3. Define the "Signal Frequency".
The application performs the measurement on the defined frequency.

The Half Decade Configuration Table
How to work with the half decade configuration table
The half decade configuration table contains the measurement configuration for
each half decade that is analyzed during a measurement.
