240 Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz
14 Measure (Spectrum Analysis Mode)
Pressing Meas Setup after Channel Power has been selected will access the channel
power measurement setup menu. Pressing Radio Standard after Mode Setup has been
selected will access all the Radio Standards available for which this measurement can be
applied. Pressing Meas Control after Channel Power has been selected will access the
channel power measurement control menu which allows you to pause or restart your
measurement, or toggle between continuous and single measurement.
When a DVB-T radio standard is selected, this measurement will also compare the input
signal against a predefined spectrum mask. The mask amplitudes defined in the DVB-T
specification (ETSI EN 300 744 V1.4.1) range from 0 dB to 100 dB. This is for power
measured in a 4 kHz bandwidth therefore an adjustment to these values will need to be
made as the measurement is made in a 7.61MHz bandwidth.
The measurement makes two sweeps, one in a 4 kHz bandwidth and one in a 7.61 MHz
bandwidth, then computes the difference between the two. This value will be used to adjust
the mask settings. As this value is calculated as part of the measurement setup, it is
expected that the DVB-T signal to be measured will be present prior to the standard being
selected. The mask will be positioned relative to the power measured in the 7.61 MHz
bandwidth. The pass/fail indicator will be used to determine if the input signal exceeds the
mask or not.
If the current span setting is narrower than the mask width, the mask will not be displayed
and the message 10191 displayed in error queue. Increase the span to at least the mask
width to display the mask. When the mask is not displayed, the pass/fail functionality will
not be executed therefore no pass/fail flag will be displayed.
To ensure accuracy this measurement requires a specific minimum Sweep Point to Span
ratio. This is calculated using; Sweep Points = Span / (Closest Mask Breakpoint / 2), then
round it off.
For DVB-T measurements using 24 MHz Span, the number of Sweep Points is 2001. If the
Sweep Point to Span ratio is changed to a value less than the value obtained using the
above algorithm, the message 10192 is then displayed, although the measurement is still
made using the new sweep point to span ratio.

The displayed trace is the current trace, not the averaged trace.
