Measuring a Pulse in the Time Domain

The following example shows a triggered measurement of a pulsed 1 GHz signal in zero-span mode:

1.Preset the analyzer using the Preset button.

2.On the analyzer, set up the following: Center Frequency: 1 GHz

Span: 0 Hz

Reference Level: 10 dBm

3.On the Bandwidth menu, set the sweep time to be twice the pulse width of the signal. In this case, it is set to 0.2 ms to measure a 0.1 ms pulse width.

4.On the Trigger menu, set the trigger source to Video, enter a trigger level of –20 dBm, and ensure that Rising edge triggering is selected.

The display should look like the one in the figure below:
