Spectrum Analyzer : Preamplifier Operation

Preamplifier Operation
The preamplifier can be turned on and off by pressing the Amplitude main menu key, then selecting the Preamp On/Off submenu key.
Preamplifier Measurement Example
Figure: “Preamplifier Off” and Figure: “Preamplifier On” show the same signal with the preamplifier off and then on. Notice that when the preamplifier is turned on, the noise floor drops significantly allowing spectral regrowth components that were lost in the noise without the preamplifier to become easily visible.
