RBW Filter settings[edit]

The ESIB has both 3 dB and 6 dB specific RBW filter settings. Some standards (like CISPR16) specify the use of 6dB RBW filters. If the ESIB is used in (scanning) receiver mode, the 6 dB RBW filters will always be used, because no 3 dB filters are implemented in the (scanning) receiver mode. According to R&S release notes, the 6 dB RBW filters in analyzer mode of the Rohde & Schwarz ESIB are only available in firmware version 2.07 and higher. RadiMation detects which firmware version is installed in the receiver, and, if the firmware version is 2.07 or higher, the ESIB will use the 6 dB filters in analyzer mode. ESIB receivers with a firmware version below 2.07 will use the 3 dB filters in analyzer mode.
