User Manual 1178.3686.02 ─ 07
Sets the duty cycle for measuring pulse-modulated signals. The duty cycle defines the
percentage of one period during which the signal is active. If the duty cycle is enabled,
the R&S NRP18S-xx considers this percentage when calculating the signal pulse
power from the average power.
Parameters:
<duty_cycle>
Range:
0.001 to 100.00
*RST:
1.00
Default unit: Percent
[SENSe<Sensor>:]CORRection:DCYCle:STATe
<state>
Enables or disables the duty cycle correction for the measured value.
Parameters:

Offset corrections
The offset accounts for external losses by adding a fixed level offset in dB.
The attenuation of an attenuator located ahead of the sensor (or the coupling attenua-
tion of a directional coupler) is considered with a positive offset. That means the power
sensor calculates the power at the input of the attenuator or the directional coupler. A
negative offset can be used to correct the influence of an amplifier connected ahead.
Using S-parameters instead of a fixed offset allows more precise measurements,
because the interaction between the power sensor and the component can be consid-
ered. See also
