Attenuator switching transients are one thing. Another is spikes in RF or modulation level when a sig gen is turned on again after having being turned off to avoid producing transients. Darned if you do, and also if you don't .
Narrow resonances in directional couplers may also fool a control system into turning up power past where it should go.
