Notch Search

Other topics about Analyzing Data

Overview

The notch search function is used to obtain the bandwidth, center frequency, cutoff points (high-frequency side and low-frequency side), Q and insertion loss of a trace based on the active marker position. The notch search function starts at the left side of the active marker position, and ends when points that meet the condition are found.

Where, high is the right-hand cutoff point frequency, and low is the left-hand cutoff point frequency.

Setting the notch definition value

The notch search function finds a point whose response value is different, by the amount defined as the notch definition value, than the response value at the marker position, and identifies that point as the cutoff point.

To set the notch definition value, use the following command:

:CALC{Ch}:MARK{1-10}:NOTC:THR

Displaying the notch search result

The following command is used to control whether to display the notch search result on the LCD:

:CALC{Ch}:MARK:NOTC

Reading out the notch search result

Once the marker is moved to an appropriate position using the marker search function or some other function, it is able to retrieve the notch search result using the following command:

:CALC{Ch}:MARK{1-10}:NOTC:DATA
