2.4.3 Measuring CW Signals
A basic task for spectrum analyzers is to measure the level and frequency of sinewave
signals. The following examples illustrate an effective way of performing these
measurements.
A signal generator, e.g. R&S SMBV provides the signal source.
Test setup
Connect the RF output of the signal generator to the RF input of the R&S ZVH.
Signal generator settings:
Frequency:
700 MHz
Level:
-30 dBm
Measuring the level
► Press the PRESET key.
The R&S ZVH is reset to its default state.
After the preset, the R&S ZVH displays the frequency spectrum over its full frequency
span. At 700 MHz, the generator signal is displayed as a vertical line.
To analyze the generator signal at 700 MHz in more detail, reduce the frequency span.
► Press the FREQ/DIST key.
The R&S ZVH opens an input field to enter the center frequency.
► Enter a center frequency of 700 MHz.
The signal is now in the center of the display.
► Press the FORMAT/SPAN key.
The R&S ZVH opens an input field to specify the span.
► Enter a span of 10 MHz.
The R&S ZVH now displays the generator signal with a higher resolution.
