Measurement capabilities
Number of measurement channels
Up to four independent measurement channels.
A measurement channel is coupled to stimulus
response settings including frequency, IF bandwidth,
power level, and number of points.
Number of display windows
Up to 4 display windows. Each window can be sized
and re-arranged. Up to 4 measurement channels can
be displayed per window.
Number of traces
Up to 4 active traces and 4 memory traces per window.
16 total active traces and 16 memory traces can be
displayed using four windows. Measurement traces
include S-parameters, as well as relative and absolute
power measurements.
Measurement choices
S11, S21, S12, S22, A/R1, A/R2, A/B, B/R1, B/R2, B/A,
R1/A, R1/B, R1/R2, R2/A, R2/B, R2/R1, A, B, R1, R2
Formats
Log or linear magnitude, SWR, phase, group delay,
real and imaginary, Smith chart, polar.
Data markers
10 independent markers per trace. Reference marker
available for delta marker operation. Marker formats
include log or linear magnitude, phase, real, imaginary,
SWR, delay, R + jX, and G + jB.
Marker functions
Marker search
Max value, Min value, Target, Next Peak, Peak right,
Peak left, Target, Bandwidth with user-defined target
values
Marker-to functions
Set start, stop, center to active marker stimulus value;
set reference to active marker response value; set
electrical delay to value of slope of phase response at
active marker.
Tracking
Performs marker search continuously or on demand.
Source control
Measured number of points per sweep
User definable from 2 to 1601.
Sweep type
Linear, CW (single frequency), power or segment
sweep
Segment sweep
Define independent sweep segments. Set number of
points, test port power levels, IF bandwidth, and sweep
time independently for each segment.
Sweep trigger
Set to continuous, hold, single, or group sweep with
internal or external trigger.
Power
Set source power from -85 to +10 dBm. Power slope
can also be set in dBm/GHz.
Trace functions
Display data
Display current measurement data, memory data, or
current measurement and memory data simultaneously.
Trace math
Vector addition, subtraction, multiplication or division
of measured complex values and memory data.
Title
Add custom titles (50 characters maximum) to the
display. Titles will be printed when making hardcopies
of displayed measurements.
Autoscale
Automatically selects scale resolution and reference
value to vertically center the trace.
Electrical delay
Offset measured phase or group delay by a defined
amount of electrical delay, in seconds.
Phase 0ffset
Offset measured phase or group delay by a defined
amount in degrees.
Statistics
Calculates and displays mean, standard deviation and
peak-to-peak deviation of the active data trace.
