I would like to kindly ask you a question about the Network Analyser N5230A. Is it possible to use N5230A to generate a pure sinusoid ? In other words, can I use the spectrum analyzer, for example, as function generator to generate LO signal at 10 GHz.
When I connect the network analyzer to the spectrum analyzer, I see a DSB signal, but I don't want the two side bands to appear with the signal.
if you put the network analyzer in CW sweep mode, the source in the VNA will generate a simple sinusoidal signal at the specified CW frequency. if you then measure that signal with a Spectrum Analyzer, it should look just like any other CW signal generated with a RF/Microwave signal generator.
