Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF)
Many of the present digitally modulated signals now look noise-like in the time
and frequency domains. This means that statistical measurements of the signals
can be a useful characterization. Power Complementary Cumulative Distribution
Function (CCDF) characterizes the higher level power statistics of a digitally
modulated signal.
The most important application of power CCDF is to specify, completely and
without ambiguity, the power characteristics of the signals that will be mixed,
amplified, and decoded in communication systems. For example, baseband DSP
signal designers can completely specify the power characteristics of signals to the
RF designers by using CCDF. This helps avoid costly errors at system integration
time. Similarly, system manufacturers can avoid ambiguity by completely
specifying the test signal parameters to their amplifier suppliers.
CCDF apply to many design applications. Some of these applications are:
– Visualizing the effects of modulation formats.
– Combining multiple signals via system’s components (for example, amplifiers).
– Evaluating spread-spectrum systems.
– Designing and testing RF components.

In
the CCDF table, you can view the data in 3 ways -windowed, expanded and full
screen. The CCDF table is shown in windowed format by default. However you can
click
once for expanded format and twice for full-screen.

NOTE
CCDF is only allowed in Free Run mode, it cannot be used in Triggered mode.
CCDF is only applicable to P-Series Wideband Power Sensors (N192xA family).
