AMPLITUDE Y Scale

AMPLITUDE Y Scale
Activates the reference level function and accesses the amplitude menu keys. Amplitude menu keys allow you to set functions that affect the way data on the vertical axis is displayed or corrected.
Ref Level Allows the reference level to be changed. This function is activated
when amplitude power or voltage represented by the top graticule on the display. Changing the value of the reference level changes the absolute amplitude level (in the selected amplitude units) of the top graticule line. The reference level can be changed using the step keys, the knob, or the numeric keypad. Pressing any digit (0 through 9) on the numeric keypad brings up the terminator menu.
AMPLITUDE Y Scale is pressed. The reference level is the

Key Access:
Sets the input attenuation to manual or automatic and allows you to set the attenuation level in 5 dB increments when selected. The analyzer input attenuator, which is normally coupled to the reference level control, reduces the power level of the analyzer input signal at the input mixer. The attenuator is recoupled when
(Auto) is selected. Attenuation can be changed using the step keys, the
Attenuation
knob, or the numeric keypad. To select 0 dB, the numeric keypad must be used (except for E4401B or E4411B.)
Key Access:
CAUTION To prevent damage to the input mixer, do not exceed a power level of
AMPLITUDE / Y Scale
+30 dBm at the input. To prevent signal compression, keep the power at the input mixer below 0 dBm. With the attenuator set to Auto, a signal at or below the reference level will result in a mixer level at or below the Max Mixer Lvl.

Adds an offset value to the displayed reference level. Reference-level offsets are only entered by using the numeric keypad. Entering an offset does not affect the trace or the attenuation value. Reference-level offsets are used when gain or loss occurs between a device under test and the analyzer input. Thus, the signal level measured by the analyzer may be referred to as the level at the input of an external amplitude-conversion device. When an amplitude offset is entered, its value appears on the left side of the display under Offst (as opposed to frequency offsets which appear at the bottom of the display). To eliminate an offset, press

Pressing
Int Preamp (On) results in a correction being applied to
compensate for the gain of the preamp so that amplitude readings show the value at the input connector. When the preamp is on, a PA indication appears on the left side of the display. The preamp is switched off in frequency bands above 3 GHz and the correction is not applied. In this case, the PA indication will still appear even though the preamp is not activated.

When discussing detectors, it is important to understand the concept of a trace “bucket.” For every trace point displayed, there is a finite time during which the data for that point is collected. The analyzer has the ability to look at all of the data collected during that time and present a single point of trace data based on the detector mode. We call the interval during which the data for that trace point is being collected, the “bucket.” Thus a trace is more than a series of single points. It is actually a series of trace “buckets.” The data may be sampled many times within each bucket.
Selecting The
Detector (Auto) and BW/Avg, Average (On) changes the detector.
Auto choice depends on marker functions, trace functions, and the

• Frequency deviation when Demod View is enabled
Power Average (“root mean square” or RMS) detection computes the RMS of the samples collected across the trace interval. The number of samples included in the RMS average for each trace interval depends on the sweep time, the resolution bandwidth, and whether or not option B7D is installed. With option B7D installed, more samples are available as appropriate for wider resolution bandwidths and faster sweep times.

The main point to remember is that there can be significant differences between the average of the log of power and the log of the average power.
There are actually four types of averaging processes within a spectrum analyzer. All, except VBW filtering, are affected by this setting. They are:
• Trace averaging (see

If an unavailable bandwidth is entered using the numeric keypad, the closest available bandwidth in the 1, 3, 10 sequence is used. (For ESA-E Series analyses, Option 1DR provides additional 300 Hz, 200 Hz, 100 Hz, 30 Hz and 10 Hz bandwidths. For firmware revision A.08.00 and later, the bandwidth range is from 1 Hz to 5 MHz if you have both Options 1D5 and 1DR.) (For ESA-L Series analyses, Option 1DR provides additional 300 Hz, 200 Hz, and 100 Hz bandwidths.) As the resolution bandwidth is decreased, the sweep time is modified to maintain amplitude calibration. Resolution bandwidth is also related to span. As span is decreased, the resolution bandwidth is decreased. As the resolution bandwidth changes, the video bandwidth, if in auto couple mode, changes to maintain the VBW/RBW ratio.

We call the interval during which the data for that trace point is being collected, the “bucket.” Thus a trace is more than a series of single points. It is actually a series of trace “buckets.” The data may be sampled many times within each bucket.

• Average - displays the average of the signal within the display bucket. Set the averaging method with
Avg Type (Video or RMS).
• Sample - displays the instantaneous level of the signal at the center of the bucket represented by each display point.
• Peak - displays the maximum of the signal within the bucket.
• Negative Peak - displays the minimum of the signal within the bucket.
Neither average nor sample detectors measure amplitudes of CW signals as accurately as peak, because they may not find a spectral component’s true peak. However, they both measure noise better without the positive bias of peak detection.
The detector in use is indicated on the left side of the display. A # will appear next to it if the detector has been manually selected.

Auto The system selects peak detection as the default. If a
measurement condition arises where a different type of detection scheme would be better utilized, the system will use the alternate scheme. For example, the Marker Noise function uses Average detection when in Auto mode because the system determines that the data will be more accurate for noise-type signals. Refer to Figure
2-1 on page 57 for more information.
Average
Key Access:

Average detection measures the average value of the
amplitude across each trace interval (bucket). The averaging method will be set to either Video or Power as appropriate when the Average Type is Auto coupled, or it may be set explicitly with the
Auto Man
key.
BW/Avg, Avg Type
Video Average detection computes the averaged trace interval as appropriate to the Y-axis scale:
• Log-power average when in log scale.
• Voltage average when in linear scale.
• Frequency deviation when Demod View is enabled for FM Demod.
Power Average (“root mean square” or RMS) detection computes the RMS of the samples collected across the trace interval. The number of samples included in the RMS average for each trace interval depends on the sweep time, the resolution bandwidth, and whether or not option B7D is installed. With option B7D installed, more samples are available as appropriate for wider resolution bandwidths and faster sweep times. Slower sweep times also increase the number of samples averaged for each trace interval.

Average is selected, Avg appears on the left side

Limits Fixed Rel Allows you to choose fixed or relative limit lines. The fixed (Fixed) type
uses the current limit line as a reference with fixed frequency and amplitude values. The relative (
Rel) setting causes the current limit
line value to be relative to the displayed center frequency and reference level amplitude values. When limit lines are specified with time, rather than frequency, the
Rel setting only affects the amplitude values. The
current amplitude values will be relative to the displayed reference level amplitude, but the time values will always start at the left edge of the graticule.
As an example, assume you have a frequency limit line. If the limit line is specified as fixed, entering a limit line segment with a frequency coordinate of 300 MHz displays the limit line segment at 300 MHz. If the same limit line table is specified as relative, it is displayed relative to the analyzer center frequency and reference level. If the center frequency is at 1.0 GHz, a relative limit line segment with a frequency coordinate of 300 MHz will display the limit line segment at 1.3 GHz. If the amplitude component of the relative limit line segment is –10 dB, then 10 dB is added to the reference level value to obtain the amplitude of the given segment (reference level offset included).
