Freq & Span Menu
Figure 19 Freq & Span Menu
In the Freq & Span Menu the range of frequencies to sweep are specified.
The SignalHawk can sweep frequencies between 100 kHz and 3.6 GHz.
Frequencies can be selected at spans from 1 kHz up to the entire
range of the instrument. These frequencies can be set to sweep by one
of the following methods:
z
Set the Center Freq and Freq Span.
z
Set the Start Freq and Stop Freq.
z
Select the Full Span of the instrument.
z
Select a band from the Freq List.
The most common of these methods is to set the center frequency and a
frequency span (a range) and let SignalHawk calculate the start and
stop frequencies for the sweep. Reducing the span, by default (with RBW
and VBW, both on auto mode) will usually speed up the sweep, provide
more detail, and lower the noise floor. Unless specified otherwise, set the
center frequency to the center of the signal being measured.
