7.3.1 Using Marker and Delta Marker
7.3.1.1 Measuring Spurious Emissions
In transmission measurements, it is often necessary to search a large frequency
range for unwanted spurious emissions.
This can be done by means of the R&S FSP's LIST PEAKS function, which finds up
to 50 peaks in a preselected frequency range and outputs them as a list. The search
range can be defined both in terms of frequency and level, and the number of peaks
to be found is selectable as well.
In the following example, the 10 highest peaks are to be found in a preselected fre-
quency range. Only signals >-60 dBm in a range ± 400 kHz about the center fre-
quency are of interest, so the search range is limited accordingly. The signals found
are output in the order of ascending frequency.
