Figure 5-6: More Wave Quantities dialog
The following detectors are available:
●
"Normal"
selects the default detector mode where each valid measurement point
is displayed without modification. The analyzer then proceeds to the next sweep
point. Normal detector mode ensures that the measurement is performed at maxi-
mum speed and that a meaningful complex result is obtained.
●
"AVG"
collects all valid results at each sweep point during the "Detector Meas
Time" set in the More Params, "More Wave Quantities", and More Ratios dialog
and calculates the complex arithmetic mean value of these results. Averaging
tends to remove statistical fluctuations (e.g. noise contributions) from the measured
signal.
●
RMS
collects all valid results at each sweep point during the "Detector Meas Time"
set in the "More Wave Quantities" or More Ratios dialog and calculates the root
mean square (RMS) of the linear magnitude of these results. Note that the phase is
not evaluated in this process so that complex conversions (e. g. the calculation of
real and imaginary values) do not really make sense.
●
Peak
collects all valid results at each sweep point during the "Detector Meas Time"
set in the "More Wave Quantities" or More Ratios dialog and selects the result with
the maximum magnitude (maximum power) as the measurement point. Note that
the phase is not evaluated in this process so that complex conversions (e. g. the
calculation of real and imaginary values) do not really make sense.
