Basic Measurement

In this section, we introduce how to use the analyzer to do basic measurements. Considering a 50 MHz, 0 dBm sine signal produced from a generator (such as RIGOL DG3101A).
CAUTION
The signal amplitude must be less than 30 dBm (equal to 1 W), when its frequency range is from 10 MHz to 3 GHz, or else it will switch the input to a high power impedance state, and consequently the signal cannot be measured by the instrument.
Procedures:
1. Power on
2. Reset to factory settings
Press System Reset Preset Type Factory, and then Preset. The instrument will reset all the parameters to factory settings.
3. Equipment Connection
Connect the signal output terminal of generator to the RF INPUT 50Ω terminal at the front panel of analyzer.
4. Setup the Center Frequency
(1) Press FREQ, a corresponding menu will appear on the right of the
screen, and Center Freq is in high-bright state, meanwhile, the center frequency parameter is shown at the top left corner of the display gird, which indicates the Center Frequency is active.
(2) Center frequency could be changed through the numerical keyboard, the
knob or the directional keys.
(3) Input 50 and select MHz as its unit using the numerical keyboard, then
the center frequency of analyzer is set to 50 MHz.
32 Quick Guide for DSA1000 Series
5. Setup Span (1) Press SPAN, a corresponding menu will appear on the screen, and
Span is in high-bright state, meanwhile, also the span parameter is
shown at the top left corner of the display gird, which indicates Span is active.
(2) Span value could be changed through the numerical keyboard, the knob
or the directional keys.
(3) Input 20 and select MHz as its unit using the numerical keyboard, then
the span of analyzer is se t to 20 MHz.
6. Setup Amplitude
(1) Press AMPT, Ref Level is in high-bright state, the reference level will
be shown at the top left corner of the display gird, which indicates Reference Level is active.
(2) Reference level could be changed through the numerical keybo ar d, the
knob or the directional keys.
(3) If necessary, you can change the reference level using the knob so as to
bring the signal peak value near the top of the grid based on the signal
display. When all the steps above are finished, a 50 MHz RF curve will be shown on the analyzer.
7. Read Results
The value of frequency and amplitude could be read from the Marker. Press Marker Select Mkr 1 to activate Marker 1 and set the marker frequency to “50 MHz”, then the frequency and amplitude of where the marker is located would be shown at the upper right of the displ ay grid.
