GATING Gating is a time filter that allows for removing unwanted time-domain
responses by gating the desired response. We can view the isolated re-
sponse in both time domain—and in the frequency domain—using the
FREQUENCY WITH TIME GATE selection (Figure 9-17).
There are four different gate shapes available: MINIMUM, NOMI-
NAL, WIDE, and MAXIMUM (Figure 9-18). The 37XXXC defaults to
the NOMINAL gate. To specify a different shape simply enter the Gate
menu and select the desired gating shape. The MINUMUM has the
sharpest rolloff and some frequency domain ripple, while MAXIMUM
has the least rolloff and best residual ripple. Figures 9-18A through
9-18D, on the next page, show gating shapes.
The combinations of gate/window shapes will be restricted. For the
MINIMUM gate shape, the LOW and MIN SIDELOBE window shape
will not be allowed. For the NOMINAL gate shape, the MIN SIDE-
LOBE window will not be allowed. If the user has set the window
shape to MIN or LOW SIDELOBE and changes the-gate shape to
MINIMUM, the window will be reset to NOMINAL. If the user has
set the window to MIN SIDELOBE and changes the gate shape to
NOMINAL, the window will be reset to LOW SIDELOBE. Gate
shapes will be adjusted in a similar manner.
