Pulse characteristic
Description
Start Time
Time offset, relative to the beginning of the trace (0
sec), where the pulse begins (start of the rise time).
Stop Time
Time offset, relative to the beginning of the trace (0
sec), where the pulse stops (end of the fall time).
Pulse Top
Median pulse ON power.
The value of this parameter is used as a reference
(100%) to determine other parameter values such
as the rising / falling thresholds.
Pulse Base
Median pulse OFF power.
The value of this parameter is used as a reference
(0 %) to determine other parameter values such as
the rising / falling thresholds.
Trace Avg
Average power of the signal displayed in the dia-
gram.
Trace Peak
Maximum power of the signal displayed in the dia-
gram.
Trace Min
Minimum power of the signal displayed in the dia-
gram.
Positive Overshoot
Height of the local maximum after a rising edge,
divided by the pulse amplitude. The result is a per-
centage of the pulse amplitude.
Negative Overshoot
Height of the local minimum after a rising edge, divi-
ded by the pulse amplitude. The result is a percent-
age of the pulse amplitude.

Configuring the Numerical Result Display
The functions available for the numerical result display are the same as those available
for normal power sensor measurements.

Configuring the Power vs Time Result Display
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH allows you to configure several aspects of the power vs
time result display and the way the pulse is measured.
