Hi Bill, You're probably correct in that, while relatively high, the various harmonics are still low enough that for radiated immunity purposes, the fundamental output will still be dominant enough for an accurate test. I did check to see whether the generator would sweep (or step) downward, an

Only if it frequency sweeps down instead of or as well as the common up sweep. Intuitivily, one notices that this sweeps the fundamental freq as the leading signal and that the harmonics just follow along in the already swept regions. Any discovered problem will be due to the fudamental and not so
