Measurements

The power ramp measurements are divided into three screens where you can view different parts of the signal and one screen which displays a series of amplitude values at various times during the burst. These screens can be revealed by highlighting and selecting from the View field (2):

Rise Edge - displays the top 30 dB of the rising section of the waveform.

Top 2 dB - displays the signal during the middle part of the burst allowing analysis of the ripple of the signal.

Fall Edge - displays the signal during the falling edge of the burst allowing analysis of the fall time of the signal.

Summary - details the amplitude measurements made at the times selected in the 12 time fields. You can choose your own time-positions, or use the default settings.

The sensitivity of the Agilent 8922M/S receiver can be varied (3) allowing you to verify whether the input signal level matches the Agilent 8922M/S RF Analyzer. Valid measurements are only made when the signal is within 3 dB of the RF Analyzer setting.

The Measurement Summary field on the DSP Analyzer Ampl Main screen displays whether HI/LO limits set for the measurement display fields, (Ampl1-12, pk+ flatness, or pk- flatness) were exceeded in the last measurement. The possible Measurement Summary displays are:

Failed

One or more measurement limit was exceeded.

Passed

No measurement limits were exceeded.

- - - -

No measurement limits are set, or, all of the Ampl and Pk measurement displays are turned off.

A blank field

The blank field is displayed when the measurement is armed. It will remain blank until the measurement is complete.

Refer to “Pulse Measurements” within this section for a description of Pulse Measurements. These measurements are available with option 006 only.
