Frequency
Center frequency of the RF analyzer. Set this frequency to the RF carrier frequency to
obtain a meaningful measurement result.
Remote command:

Expected Nominal Power
Sets the analyzer in accordance with the nominal power of the RF signal to be mea-
sured. The nominal power is the average output power at the DUT during the measure-
ment intervals where the RF transmitter is on. The "Ref. Level" is calculated as the
expected peak power at the output of the DUT:
Reference level = Expected Nominal Power + User Margin
Note:
The actual input power at the connectors (i.e. the "Reference Level" minus the
"External Attenuation (Input)" value, if all power settings are configured correctly) must
be within the level range of the selected RF input connector; refer to the data sheet.

User Margin
Margin that the R&S
CMW adds to the "Expected Nominal Power" in order to deter-
mine its reference power ("Ref. Level"). The "User Margin" is typically used to account
for the known variations of the RF input signal power, e.g. the variations due to a spe-
cific channel configuration.
FM signals are transmitted at constant power (constant-envelope signals), so the
default "User Margin" of 0 dB should be sufficient.

Mixer Level Offset
Varies the input level of the mixer in the analyzer path. A negative offset reduces the
mixer input level, a positive offset increases it. Optimize the mixer input level according
to the properties of the measured signal.

Advantages
Possible Shortcomings
< 0 dB
Suppression of distortion (e.g. of the inter-
modulation products generated in the
mixer)
Lower dynamic range (due to smaller sig-
nal-to-noise ratio)
> 0 dB
High signal-to-noise ratio, higher dynamic
range
Risk of intermodulation, smaller overdrive
reserve
