Carrier Frequency Measurement Examples

// measure the carrier frequency using MEASure? and its
// default settings
*RST

// reset to start from known state

MEAS:FREQ:BURS? (@3)
-----------------------------------------------------

// measure the carrier frequency using CONFigure, set
// automatic gate configuration
*RST

// reset to start from known state

CONF:FREQ:BURS (@3)

INP3:BURS:LEV -6 // set a detector threshold of -6 dB
SENS:FREQ:BURS:GATE:NARR OFF // narrow pulse mode off
SENS:FREQ:BURS:GATE:AUTO ON // automatic gate set up

Notes

1. See “Burst Measurement Detector Threshold” in Chapter 4 for information

on setting the threshold for pulse measurements.

2. See “Burst Carrier Frequency Measurements” in Chapter 5 for information

on narrow pulse mode and on automatic and manual gate control for carrier

measurements.

Pulse PRI and PRF

The commands used to measure the pulse repetition interval (PRI) and pulse

repetition frequency (PRF) (Figure 3-13) of a burst signal are:
