The measurement result of the frequency counter is displayed at the "Measure-
ment result view". When the frequency counter is active, the highest resolution of
the frequency readout that can be achieve is 0.0001 Hz. The accuracy is deter-
mined by the internal reference frequency which is far more exact than the pixel-
oriented marker readout.

Measuring Harmonics

A spectrum analyzer is ideal to measure harmonic levels or harmonic ratios,
because it can resolve different signals in the frequency domain.

With marker functions, you can speed up the measurement tasks.

A signal generator, e.g. R&S SMBV provides the signal source.

Test setup

Connect the RF output of the signal generator to the RF input of the R&S Spec-
trum Rider.

Signal generator settings:

●

Frequency: 100 MHz

●

Level: -20 dBm
