Harmonic, Subharmonic, and Nonharmonic Spurious Signals
These automated tests verify that the harmonic, sub-harmonic, and non-harmonic 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.
Recommended Equipment
• Agilent 8563EC Option 001 spectrum analyzer
• Agilent 8491A/B Option 010 fixed attenuator (10 dB)
