SideBand
- Indicates which sideband a dual sideband spectrum represents (DSBSpecFrames only)
- Description:
- This attribute indicates whether a dual sideband
spectrum currently represents its lower or
upper sideband, or an offset from the local oscillator frequency.
When querying the current value, the returned string is always one
of "usb" (for upper sideband), "lsb"
(for lower sideband), or "lo" (for offset from the
local oscillator frequency). When setting a new value, any of the
strings "lsb", "usb",
"observed", "image" or
"lo" may be supplied (case insensitive). The
"observed" sideband is which ever sideband (upper or
lower) contains the central spectral position given by attribute
DSBCentre, and the "image" sideband is the other
sideband. It is the sign of the IF attribute which determines if
the observed sideband is the upper or lower sideband. The default
value for SideBand is the observed sideband.
