Optimizing Measurements

Reducing Trace Noise

 

 

 

 

 

 

By reducing the system bandwidth you reduce the noise that is measured
during thesweep. However, the decreased bandwidth may slow down the

sweep. While averaging requires multiple sweeps to reduce noise, narrowing
the system bandwidth reduces the noise on each sweep. See the previous
section for a more detailed explanation of system bandwidth.

Narrower system bandwidths cause longer sweep times. When in auto sweep
time mode, the analyzer uses the fastest sweep time possible for any selected
system bandwidth. Auto sweep time mode is the default analyzer setting.

 

 

 

 

Spurious responses are undesirable signals that result from various internal

mixing products.

The analyzer has two features to eliminate spurious responses. Both features
shift the frequency of the spur without changing the RF output frequency.
They shift the spur by changing frequencies internal to the analyzer that mix
to produce the RF frequency. The features are:

l 

dither

l 

spur avoid

Dither is usually most effective for narrow frequency span measurements
(generally   15 MHz) as explained below. If dither does not eliminate visible
spurs, use spur avoid instead.
