PAP Mode
The Pulse Average Power (PAP) mode is similar to the MAP mode, but it measures pulse-modulated signals
having a known duty cycle. To specify this duty cycle and the 8650B will automatically correct the measurements
so that the displayed readings indicate the peak RF power during pulse ON periods.
For example, when measuring a pulse modulated signal with 50% duty cycle, MAP mode would give a reading 3
dB lower than the reading that would be given by PAP mode with the duty cycle factor set to 50%.
NOTE:
The duty cycle correction presumes a perfectly rectangular profile for the RF pulse shape. Any
abnormality such as overshoot, undershoot, slow rise time or fall time, inaccuracy of the duty cycle, or
deviation from a flat pulse response will cause errors in the indicated reading.
2.4.7.3
BAP Mode
The Burst Average Power (BAP) mode measures the average power during an RF burst (See Figure 2-16). This
mode is very useful for measurement of pulse modulated signals which are not flat or have amplitude
modulation during the pulse ON period, as in the case of TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) communications
signals. In this mode, the 8650B recognizes the beginning and end of a burst of RF power and takes an average
of the power during that burst. The RF level can vary over a wide range during the burst as long as it remains
above a noise threshold, which is automatically calculated by the 8650B. As soon as the RF power drops below
the noise threshold, the RF burst is complete and all further readings are discarded until the next burst starts.
