Crest Factor
The Crest Factor feature is very similar to the peak hold feature, in that it holds on to the maximum level until a
reset occurs, but in this case the displayed value is expressed (in dB) as a ratio of the held maximum power to
the
average
power.
The Crest Factor feature is available in the CW, MAP, PAP or BAP modes only. It can be enabled from the front
panel under the Display Data Line Configuration setup menu, or remotely. The Crest Factor feature is reset by
pressing
[Reset Line n]
of the appropriate line or, in remote control, by sending the command which activates
the Crest Factor feature (See Section 3.8).
In Figure 2-19, the same power input trace is used in two graphs to illustrate the effect of a drop in average
power, with and without a reset. In the top graph, the power drop is followed by a reset. The held value drops to
the current measured value, and the crest factor represents the ratio between the new maximum level and the
new average level. In the bottom graph, there is no reset after the power drop, and the crest factor represents
the ratio between the old maximum level and the new average level. For this reason, the crest factor feature
should be reset after an input power level change.
