Spectrum Mask RBW control

[GRedpath]

Is it possible to change the RBW in each step of the mask definition. The relevant standard to which we are testing (is EN300 220-2 section 5) requires the RBW to changed as the distance from the Carrier frequency changes.

Hello GRedpath,

Unfortunately this is not possible right now. We have received this request before, and last time we investigated it, we determined it will take additional (non-trivial) development to add this. I don’t have a timeframe for when we would have this feature, but now that multiple people are asking for it, I can bump it up in priority. I appreciated you reaching out to us and also providing the standard you are testing. I will add that to our notes.

Let me know if you have follow up questions.

Thanks Andrew, one further point the standard requires that the detector be RMS. This test is part of RED compliance and is required to be carried out if you are not using pretested module.

GRedpath,

The RMS detector is the same as using “Power” Video Units and “Average” detector in our software. This should be the default setup in SEM mode.

Let me know if you have follow up questions.

Andrew
