4.4.1 Configuring the Numerical Result Display
The functions available for the numerical result display are the same as those available
for normal power sensor measurements. For more information see "
4.4.2 Configuring the Power vs Time Result Display
The R&S FSH allows you to configure several aspects of the Power vs Time result
display and the way the pulse is measured.
4.4.2.1 Determining Pulse Characteristics
Selecting an algorithm for base and top power calculation
The R&S FSH provides several methods (or algorithms) to calculate the base and top
power of a pulse.
● "Histogram"
Calculates the top and base power of the pulse by analyzing the histogram of the
trace data. The level of the pulse top calculated by the mean value of all points
representing the pulse top. Similarly the level of the pulse base is calculated by the
points representing the pulse base.
This algorithm is recommended for analyzing most of the pulse signals
● "Integration"
Calculates the top power of the pulse by fitting a rectangle pulse of same energy
into the pulse signal as a reference.
This algorithm is recommended for modulated pulse signals or when the pulse
energy must be taken into account, for example when you want to compare the
measurement result with that of a thermal power sensor.
● "Peak"
Assumes that the peak power of the pulse is also the top level of the pulse.
The top and base power are also the reference point for the calculation of pulse timing
characteristics.
► Press the MEAS key.
► Press the "Algorithm" softkey.
► Select the algorithm you prefer for your measurement.
The R&S FSH adjusts the results accordingly.
