9. Harmonic, Subharmonic, and
Nonharmonic Spurious Signals
These automated tests verify that the harmonic, subharmonic, and nonharmonic spurious
signals are within specifications. The signal generator’s output signal is set to values
where harmonic and spurious signal performance problems are most likely to occur. Then
the spectrum analyzer checks the level of the various harmonic and spurious signals and
compares each measurement to a signal of known frequency and amplitude.
