Test your sweep configuration, including sweep level relative to carrier and sweep pulse location relative to the carrier frequency, in a controlled environment and determine the best configuration to minimize or eliminate interference. Most modern sweep systems may be configured to be completely noninterfering. Francis Edgington is a customer support engineer with Agilent Technologies. Interference A variety of test equipment is available today for performing automated non-intrusive measurements. Much of this equipment also allows manual measurements, which are acceptable if you are aware of the potential errors that can creep into the results.
Automated measurements remove much of the uncertainty common in manual measurements.
Whether your measurements are of noise or noise-like signals, hum modulation or routine sweeping, it is important that you ensure the measurements do not disrupt or interfere with existing services. All rights reserved.
