Trace Smoothing
The smoothing function is used to reduce the peak-peak noise of broadband measurement data. The data of part of the displayed
trace are averaged by the analyzer. The number of adjacent data points subject to averaging at the same time is also known as the
smoothing aperture. The aperture can be defined as the number of data point or the percentage of X-axis span.
Use of the smoothing function:
Use sufficient points in the display to avoid misleading results.
The smoothing function must not be applied to the highly resonant device or the device subject to broad track changes, as
measurement errors may be caused.
The smoothing function can be independently set for each trace.
