Signal ID

Image Suppress

The Image Suppress mode of Signal ID mathematically removes all image and 

multiple responses of signals present at the mixer input. Two hidden sweeps are 

taken in succession. The second sweep is offset in LO frequency by 2*IF/N. For 

each point in each trace, the smaller amplitude from the two traces is taken and 

placed in that point in Trace 1. Responses of each trace that lie on top of one 

another will remain and are valid signals, others are images and are suppressed.

In the Image Suppress mode, synchronization is ensured by first turning off Signal 

ID, initiating a single sweep, then turning on Signal ID followed by two single 

sweeps.

Image Shift

Like the Image Suppress mode, Image Shift is a two sweep sequence. The data 

from the first sweep is placed in Trace 1 and the data from the second (LO 

frequency shifted by 2*IF/N) sweep is placed in Trace 2. Signal responses of 

Trace 1 and Trace 2 that have the same horizontal position are considered to be in 

the current band and therefore can be analyzed with the amplitude and frequency 

measurement systems of the SA. All other responses are invalid and should be 

ignored.

To synchronize in the Image Shift mode, turn off Signal ID and then initiate a 

single sweep. Then turn on Signal ID and initiate two single sweeps. The results of 

the first sweep after Signal ID is turned on are available in Trace 1. The next sweep 

is shifted and the data from that sweep is available in Trace 2. The unshifted and 

shifted data can then be compared.

NOTE

This function takes control of and uses Trace 1. Any data in this trace prior to 

activating Image Suppress will be lost.

NOTE

This function takes control of and uses Trace 1 and Trace 2. Any data in these 

traces prior to activating Image Shift will be lost.
