Abstract
The invention relates to a method for carrying out a frequency change whilst retaining the phase relationship between several devices, in particular, network analyzers. Each device has at least one signal generator for stimulating an object for measurement and at least one local oscillator, connected to at least one mixer, for receiving a measuring signal obtained from the object for measurement by the superposition principle. On changing frequency, in a first step, only the frequency of the local oscillators of all devices is changed and the frequency of the signal generators of all devices remains unchanged. In a second step, only the frequency of at least one signal generator is changed and the frequency of the local oscillators of all devices remains unchanged.
