Description
A source outputting pulsed RF signals is connected to the spectrum
analyzer input. The analyzer steps through the bandwidths from
3 MHz to 1 kHz, and the controller measures the frequency of the
impulse response for each bandwidth.
Next, a CW signal is connected to the spectrum analyzer input.
The analyzer steps through all bandwidths for 3 MHz to 10 Hz,
centers the signal, sets the signal peak near the reference level, and
measures the frequency of the 6 dB points for each bandwidth. The
6 dB bandwidth is then calculated by determining the difference in
frequency between the 6 dB points.
Last, the analyzer steps through the bandwidths and measures the
60 dB points for each bandwidth. The 60 dB bandwidth is calculated
for each bandwidth. The selectivity of each bandwidth is then
calculated by dividing the 60 dB bandwidth by the 6 dB bandwidth
for each filter.
