Analyzing Waveforms
Different window functions produce different
fi
lter response shapes in the spectrum and result in different resolution
bandwidths.
The resolution bandwidth directly controls the gate width. Therefore, the time domain gate markers move as you
adjust the RBW control.
You can display the linear magnitude of the real data or the imaginary data in the spectrum. This is useful if you process
the spectrum off line and transform it back into a time domain trace.
Using Mask Testing
Serial Mask Testing (Option SM) allows you to compare your signal to a prede
fi
ned template or mask. For the signal to
pass the test, it must fall outside the segments de
fi
ned by the mask. Generally, standards committees such as ANSI
de
fi
ne the masks. To perform mask testing do the following:
1.
Select
Masks > Source...
.
2.
Select the signal source.
3.
Click the
Masks
tab.
4.
Select the Type and Standard.
