Spectrum Analyzer Measurement Guide for Anritsu RF and Microwave Handheld Instruments : Spectrum Analyzer : Measure Menu : ACPR Menu

ACPR Menu
Key Sequence: Shift > Measure (4) key > Power and Bandwidth > ACPR
Main Ch BW
Sets the bandwidth of the main channel for ACPR measurement. Use the keypad, the directional arrow keys, or the rotary knob to enter a specific frequency. When using the keypad, press the GHz, MHz, kHz, or Hz submenu key to accept the frequency input. Changing this value automatically changes the adjacent channel bandwidth and channel spacing.
Adj/Alt Ch BW
Sets the bandwidth of the adjacent channels for ACPR measurement. Use the keypad, the directional arrow keys, or the rotary knob to enter a specific frequency. When using the keypad, press the GHz, MHz, kHz, or Hz submenu key to accept the frequency input.
Ch Spacing
Sets the channel spacing between the main and adjacent channels. Use the keypad, the directional arrow keys, or the rotary knob to enter a specific frequency. When using the keypad, press the GHz, MHz, kHz, or Hz submenu key to accept the frequency input. This value must be greater than or equal to half of the main channel bandwidth, plus half of the adjacent channel bandwidth. The up or down arrows change the frequency by the frequency step size entered in the Freq (Frequency) Menu. The left or right arrow keys change the value by 10% of the span.
Sets the span for ACPR measurement. Use the keypad, the directional arrow keys, or the rotary knob to enter the span.
 
Masks and C/I Menu
Key Sequence: Shift > Measure (4) key > Masks and C/I
 
Emission Mask Menu
Key Sequence: Shift > Measure (4) key > Masks and C/I > Emission Mask
This submenu controls the setup and display of the emission mask. The emission mask is an upper segmented limit line. It must have more than two nodes, which mean at least two segments. The spectrum emission mask measurement includes the in-band and out-of-band emissions.
Opens the recall menu for selecting a limit line for use as the Emission Mask.
Press to display the Reference Power as Peak or Channel. When Channel is selected, the Reference Power value is the integral of the individual peaks within the channel.
Channel Width is preset within the Signal Standard. Use this button to adjust the width as desired.
Turning on this feature displays a peak marker within an Emission Mask segment. For example, if the Emission Mask had seven segments then there would be seven peak markers.
 
C/I Menu
Key Sequence: Shift > Measure (4) key > Masks and C/I > C/I
Turns carrier to interference ratio measurements on or off.
Press this submenu key to set the center frequency or the offset center frequency. Use the Arrow keys or the rotary knob, then press Enter. Or use the number keypad, then press a unit key or press Enter for values in MHz. With zero offset, this key displays the title Center Freq. With an offset other than zero, this key displays the title Offset Center Freq, as shown below the full menu. Refer to Frequency Menu (Freq 1/2) with Offset Function.
Press this submenu key to set the frequency span. Use the Arrow keys or the rotary knob, then press Enter. Or use the number keypad, then press a unit key or press Enter for values in MHz.
Press this submenu key to set the sweep time. The minimum valid sweep time is displayed on the key. (The minimum valid sweep time is dependent on other settings, such as RBW and VBW.) Use the Arrow keys or the rotary knob, then press Enter. Or use the number keypad, then press a unit key or press Enter for values in µs.
 
C/I Signal Type Menu
Key Sequence: Shift > Measure (4) key > Masks and C/I > C/I > Carrier Signal Type
After you select a signal type, by pressing a submenu key, the C/I Menu is automatically displayed. This is the default behavior even if you press the active key (with the red circle displayed).
NB FHSS
Press this submenu key to set Narrowband Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum as the interfering signal type.
WB FHSS
Press this submenu key to set Wideband Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum as the interfering signal type.
Returns to the C/I Menu. without changing the currently‑selected signal type.
 
AM/FM Demod 1/2 Menu
Key Sequence: Shift > Measure (4) key > AM/FM Demod
FM Wide Band
FM Narrow Band
AM
USB
LSB
Use the keypad, the directional arrow keys, or the rotary knob to enter the center frequency of the signal to be demodulated. This frequency does not have to be within the current frequency sweep range to which the instrument is set.
Use the keypad, the directional arrow keys, or the rotary knob to increase or decrease the demodulation time, and press the Enter key to select. The demodulation time can be set from 100 milliseconds to 500 seconds. The instrument sweeps one time for every demodulation period. Sweeping pauses during the demodulation time.
Sets the demodulation frequency to the frequency of the current marker.
The current volume setting is displayed on the screen. Use the up or down arrow keys or rotary knob to change the volume, and press the Enter key to select.
 
Demod Type (AM/FM) Menu
Key Sequence: Shift > Measure (4) key > AM/FM Demod > Demod Type
Refer to AM/FM/SSB Demodulation for a description of the built‑in demodulator.
 
AM/FM Demod 2/2 (More) Menu
Key Sequence: Shift > Measure (4) key > AM/FM Demod > More
SPA AM/FM Demod 2/2 Menu
Sets the squelch power value. Use this setting to limit noise when there is no signal to demodulate. The squelch value is the limit below which no signal is displayed.
Sets the beat frequency of the oscillator to exactly set the demodulation frequency of USB and LSB signals. Displayed only when USB or LSB is selected as the Demod Type. This can also be used when demodulating CW (Morse code) signals.
 
 
Generator Menu
Key Sequence: Shift > Measure (4) key > Generator
This menu is available only in spectrum analyzers with a Tracking Generator option.
For more information about the Tracking Generator, refer to the Tracking Generator Measurement Guide, Anritsu part number 10580-00339.
