Using Basic Step Sweep Functions
This procedure demonstrates the following task:
• “Configuring a Frequency Sweep (N5183A only)” on page 52
Configuring a Frequency Sweep (N5183A only)
For this example, we are going to set a step sweep using the N5183A, over a frequency range of 7.5
to 10.0 GHz, using a band–pass filter as our device under test, and display that response on a 8757D
Scalar Analyzer.
1. Set up the equipment as shown in Figure 3- 7.
NOTE The N5183A signal generator does not support the 8757 system interface.
Scalar analyzer settings must match the signal generator’s settings.
