Base Attenuation
Defines the attenuation affecting all radar targets. Together with the individual attenua-
tion for each radar object, a total attenuation for each object can be configured. This
attenuation and the range are used to calculate the radar cross section.
Negative values can be entered, which represent gain.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:AREGenerator:RADar:BASE:ATTenuation

Low Sensitivity
Defines if low sensitivity is used or not. By default, low sensitivity is used.
In this case, higher signal powers can be processed by the AREG without signal satu-
ration. Signal linearity is increased, but signal noise may be increased as well. In case
the Radar under test has very low output power or is placed at large airgaps from the
AREG, low sensitivity can be disabled to reduce signal noise at cost of signal linearity
