[SENSe<Ch>:]POWer:ATTenuation ARECeiver | BRECeiver | CRECeiver | DRECeiver, <numeric_value>

Sets an attenuation factor for the received waves. The generated wave is attenuated via SOURce:POWer<Port_no>:ATTenuation.

<Ch>

Channel number. If unspecified the numeric suffix is set to 1.

 

 

ARECeiver | BRECeiver | CRECeiver | DRECeiver

Test port of the analyzer, depending on the analyzer model:
Test port 1: ARECeiver
Test port 2: BRECeiver
Test port 3: CRECeiver
Test port 4: DRECeiver

<numeric_value>

Attenuation factor for the received wave.

Range [def. unit]

Depending on the analyzer/attenuator model, e.g. 0 dB to 75 dB for ZVA8/ZVA8-B31/32/B33/B34 [dB]. UP and DOWN increment/decrement the attenuation in 5 or 10 dB steps. The analyzer rounds any entered value below the maximum attenuation to the closest step.

*RST value

0 dB

 

SCPI, Command Types

Confirmed, command or query

 

Example:

POW:ATT AREC, 10

Set an attenuation factor of 10 dB for the waves received at test port 1 and channel no. 1. The other test ports and channels are not affected.

 

 

[SENSe<Ch>:]POWer:IFGain<Pt>:MEASure
AUTO | LNOise | LDIStortion

Selects the IF gain in the measurement channel (b-waves).

<Ch>

Channel number.

 

<Pt>

Test port number of the analyzer.

 

Parameters

AUTO – Adaptive Gain Control according to the RF input level
LNOise – Fixed, large IF gain, for low input levels  
LDIStortion – Fixed, small IF gain, for high input levels
 

*RST value

AUTO

 

SCPI, Command Types

Device-specific, command or query

 

Example:

POWer:IFG2:MEAS LDIS; POWer:IFG2:REF LNO

Optimize the measurement channel b for small input levels, the reference channel a for high input levels.

 

  

[SENSe<Ch>:]POWer:IFGain<Pt>:REFerence
AUTO | LNOise | LDIStortion

Selects the IF gain in the reference channel (a-waves). This setting is not available on R&S ZVB4, R&S ZVB8, R&S ZVB20, and R&S ZVT20 analyzers.

<Ch>

Channel number.

 

<Pt>

Test port number of the analyzer.

 

Parameters

AUTO – Adaptive Gain Control according to the RF input level
LNOise – Fixed, small IF gain, for high input levels  
LDIStortion – Fixed, large IF gain, for low input levels
