Custom Real Time I/Q Baseband

Working with Burst Shapes

Using User-Defined Burst Shape Curves

You can adjust the shape of the rise time curve and the fall time curve using the Rise Shape and Fall Shape editors. Each editor enables you to enter up to 256 values, equidistant in time, to define the shape of the curve. The values are then resampled to create the cubic spline that passes through all of the sample points.

The Rise Shape and Fall Shape editors are available for custom real-time I/Q baseband generator waveforms. They are not available for waveforms generated by the dual arbitrary waveform generator.

You can also design burst shape files externally and download the data to the signal generator. For more information, see the programming guide.

To Create and Store User-Defined Burst Shape Curves

Using this procedure, you learn how to enter rise shape sample values and mirror them as fall shape values to create a symmetrical burst curve.

1.Press Preset.

c.Press .6 > Enter.

d.Enter the remaining values for samples 3 through 9 from the table above.

e.Press More (2 of 2) > Edit Fall Shape > Load Mirror Image of Rise Shape > Confirm Load Mirror Image of Rise Shape.

This changes the fall shape values to a mirror image of the rise shape values.
