|
Press the Summary submenu key to view all of the signal characteristics in a table format.
|
 |
|
Measurement values for SINAD, THD, and Distortion/Total apply only to single tone modulation. For better accuracy of these measurements, the modulation rate should be at least 0.7 % of IFBW.
|
|
12.
|
For instruments that have Option 431, press the Coverage Mapping submenu key to setup mapping of Signal‑to‑Noise and Distortion (SINAD) ratio and/or Carrier Power. Refer to Figure: Mapping of AM Signal SINAD and Carrier Power. for an example of coverage mapping. After coverage mapping is turned on, press Measurement Setup to select SINAD and/or Carrier Power and set the threshold levels.
|
|
Frequency, Demod Type, IF Bandwidth and Threshold levels can also be changed using the touch screen.
|
Refer to Coverage Mapping for an overview of the coverage mapping four step process:
 |
|
AM/FM/PM Coverage mapping uses AM/FM/PM Analyzer mode not Spectrum Analyzer mode.
