For Raised Cosine or Root Raised Cosine filter, the filter bandwidth is defined in
term of the alpha value.
For Gaussian filter, the filter bandwidth is defined in terms of the BT value.
Defining the symbol rate and number of signal symbols
The symbol rate defines the number of symbols that are transmitted per time unit (Hz)
from the transmitter. See
1. Select "Demod Parameters " softkey.
The R&S Spectrum Rider opens a submenu that contains the demodulation
parameters.
2. Select "Symbol Rate" to define the symbol rate of the measuring signal.
Alternatively, select the "SymR" item on the
to define the symbol
rate.
The R&S Spectrum Rider opens an entry box to enter the symbol rate.
3. Select the "Demod Parameters " >"Number of symbols" to view the number of
modulated symbols.
Alternatively, select "#Sym "on the
to view the number of modula-
ted symbols.
The R&S Spectrum Rider displays the number of modulated symbols in the "Sym-
bols" display mode. See

Turning burst processing on and off
Burst processing is a tool similar to a trigger that automatically detects the beginning
and end of a burst in the capture buffer.
A burst is not detected in the following conditions:
●
If the burst power is below a certain threshold
●
If the burst is too short
●
If the time between bursts is too short
