Description Specifications Supplemental Information
1 dB Gain Compression Point
(Two-tone)
abc
a. Large signals, even at frequencies not shown on the screen, can cause the analyzer to incor-
rectly measure on-screen signals because of two-tone gain compression. This specification
tells how large an interfering signal must be in order to cause a 1 dB change in an on-screen
signal.
b. Specified at 1 kHz RBW with 100 kHz tone spacing. The compression point will nominally
equal the specification for tone spacing greater than 5 times the prefilter bandwidth. At
smaller spacings, ADC clipping may occur at a level lower than the 1 dB compression point.
