Description
The MEANPWR command measures the average power of the carrier during that portion of the time when it is on. The on state is defined as the time when the signal is within a selected number of dB of its peak level. The range of amplitudes that is defined as the on state can be set with the command. The amplitude range is set relative to the peak value of the signal.
NOTE | The MEANPWR command is similar to the CARRON command (page 123), |
| except that the CARRON command defines ‘on’ as that time when the signal is |
| within 20 dB of its peak level. |
