This topic describes the Frequency Error measurement. Frequency Error is a measurement in the RF Channel measurement suite.
The Frequency Error measurement measures the frequency error relative to the expected frequency. This measurement is intended only for continuous wave (CW) signals. If a modulated signal is used, the measurement accuracy is degraded.
For more information refer to How are the Measurements in the RF Channel Measurement Suite Made?.
Frequency Error is a measurement in the RF Channel Measurement Suite. See RF Channel Measurement Suite Measurement Parameters for details of the parameters that apply to all measurements in the suite.
This result provides the integrity indicator for the RF Channel measurement suite. Normal indicates that the measurement suite completed successfully without error and the result is accurate. For details of other integrity indicators, see Measurement Integrity Indicator.
SCPI command: FETCh:RFCHannel:INTegrity?
This result provides the frequency error in Hz.
SCPI commands: FETCh:RFCHannel:FERRor?, FETCh:RFCHannel:FERRor:ALL?
Frequency Error is a measurement in the RF Channel measurement suite. See RF Channel Input Signal Requirements for details of the input signal requirements that apply to all measurements in the suite.
