It is often necessary to measure a signal response’s bandwidth, such as when
testing a band-pass 

 The signal to be measured must be centered on the

display with a span that includes the full response. Activate the measurement
by turning the N 

 PTS 

 OFF key (ON). The spectrum analyzer places

arrow markers at the -3 

 points on either side of the response and reads

the bandwidth. For other bandwidth responses enter the number of 

 down

desired, from 1 

 to 80 

No other signal can appear on the display within N 

 of the highest signal.

The measured signal cannot have more than one peak that is greater than or
equal to N 

 A signal must have a peak greater than the peak excursion to

be identified. The default value for the peak excursion is 6 

The N 

 bandwidth measurement error is typically:

l 

about 

 % of the span, for spans   10 MHz

l 

about 

 % of the span, for spans   10 MHz
