Segmented Frequency
In a
Segmented Frequency
sweep the sweep range can be composed of several continuous, non-
overlapping frequency sub-ranges or single frequency points. The sub-ranges are termed sweep
segments and defined in the Define Segments dialog. The segment list must contain at least 2 distinct
frequency points before a
Segmented Frequency
sweep can be started.
Instrument settings such as the internal generator power, the measurement (IF) bandwidth, the selectivity
of the measurement filter, the frequency band of the local oscillator, and the measurement time can be set
independently for the individual segments.
Due to this flexibility
Segmented Frequency
sweeps are suitable for any detailed analysis of a DUT at
specified frequencies. In a Cartesian diagram the measurement result is displayed as a trace over a linear
frequency scale ranging from the lowest to the highest frequency point of all segments. The following
example shows a
Segmented Frequency
sweep
with 3 segments in the stimulus range between 50 MHz
and 6 GHz, the forward transmission parameter S12 as measured quantity, and a
dB Mag
scaled y-axis.
In the frequency ranges between the sweep segments the trace is displayed as a straight line.
The segmented sweep is not compatible with automatic calibration using a Calibration Unit.
