Measuring a Low-Level Signal
This section provides information on measuring low- level
signals and distinguishing them from spectrum noise.
Reducing Input Attenuation
The ability to measure a low- level signal is limited by
internally generated noise of the spectrum analyzer. The
analyzers input attenuator affects the level of a signal
passing through the analyzer. If a signal power level is close
to the noise floor, reducing the analyzer input attenuation
will help raise the signal so that it can be seen rising out of
the noise.

Ensure that the total power of all input signals at the analyzer RF input
does not 30 dBm (1 Watt).
