Average power (RMS value)

This function returns the average value of the power for any type of test signal (modulated, unmodulated or several carriers). It features a measurement range of 35 dB to 40 dB and high measurement accuracy.

Peak envelope power (PEP) and crest factor

Both parameters provide information on the peak power of a modulated envelope and describe the overdrive characteristics of transmitter output stages. The result of the crest factor measurement is referenced to the average power and displayed in dB. Measurements are performed using a video bandwidth that is adjustable in several steps, so that even short-time and high-power peaks can be determined.

Average burst power

This function can be used to measure modulated and unmodulated bursts based on the average power and the duty cycle. Both can be defined by the user or determined automatically by the power sensor.

Complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF)

This function measures the probability of the peak envelope power exceeding a preset threshold so that the amplitude distribution of signals with an unknown envelope can be determined.
