Out-of-Band Spurious Emissions
Out-of-band spurious measurements are made on signals outside the system main band.
These signals, which can interfere with other communication systems, can be categorized
into harmonics and random spurious emissions. Real time monitoring of spurious emissions
from a transmitter can uncover unwanted signals before they interfere with other channels.
Out-of-Band Spurious Emission Measurement
Required Equipment
r
Site Master S114C/S332C
r
30 dB, 50 watt, Bi-Directional, DC – 18 GHz, N(m) – N(f), Attenuator,
Anritsu 42N50A-30
r Test Port extension cable, Anritsu 15NNF50 – 1.5C
Procedure
Step 1. Reset the Site Master to the factory default settings if a known starting state is
desired.
If the unit is off, hold down the ESC/CLEAR key while pressing the ON/OFF
key.
If the unit is already on, press the RECALL SETUP key on the data keypad.
When the key is pressed, a Recall Trace selection box appears on the display.
Select setup location 0 to recall the factory preset state.
Step 2. Using the test port extension cable and 30 dB attenuator, connect the signal
source to the input of the attenuator, and connect the output of the attenuator to
the
RF In test port of the Site Master.
Step 3.
Press the FREQ/DIST key and select the
CENTER soft key. Enter the center
frequency.
Step 4. Press the
SPAN soft key. Set the span wide enough to include the primary chan
-
nel bandwidth and upper and lower channel bandwidths.
Step 5.
Press the AMPLITUDE key and select the
REF LEVEL soft key to set the refer
-
ence level to 0 dBm.
Step 6. Press the
ATTEN soft key and set the attenuation to AUTO.
Step 7.
Press the SWEEP key and select the
RBW and VBW soft keys to set the resolu
-
tion bandwidth to 10 kHz and the video bandwidth to 300 Hz.
Step 8.
Press the MARKER key and press the
M1 soft key.
