The E-series E9320 power sensors are best suited for peak and pulse
power measurement.
However, the E-series E9300 or 8480 series power sensors can be used to
measure the power of a pulsed signal.
The measurement result is a mathematical representation of the pulse
power rather than an actual measurement (assumes constant peak
power). The power meter measures the average power of the pulsed
input signal and then divides the measurement result by the duty cycle
value to obtain the pulse power reading. The allowable range of values is
0.001 % to 100 %. The default value is 1.000%.
If duty cycle is enabled and the channel is setup in single numeric display
format, the message
is displayed.

Pulse measurements are not recommended using Agilent E4412A and
E4413A power sensors.
An example of a pulsed signal is shown in Figure 31.
