4.8.5 Frequency-Converting Measurements
For frequency-converting measurements (e.g. on converter units) the tracking gen-
erator is able to set a constant frequency offset between the output frequency of the
tracking generator and the receive frequency of the R&S FSP.
Up to an output frequency of 150 MHz the measurement can be carried out in both
inverted and normal positions.

FREQUENCY
OFFSET The FREQUENCY OFFSET softkey activates the input of the frequency offset
between the output signal of the tracking generator and the input frequency of the
R&S FSP. Possible offsets are in a range of ±150 MHz in 0.1 Hz steps.
The default setting is 0 Hz. Offsets <> 0 Hz are marked with the enhancement label
FRQ .
If a positive frequency offset is entered, the tracking generator generates an output
signal above the receive frequency of the R&S FSP. In case of a negative frequency
offset it generates a signal below the receive frequency of the R&S FSP. The output
frequency of the tracking generator is calculated as follows:
Tracking generator frequency = receive fre frequency offset.
