Pulse Profile Domain Measurements
This chapter contains measurement calibration and measurement procedures to display the
pulsed-RF S-parameters versus time.
Measurement Calibration for Pulse Profile
After selection of the pulse pro le frequency, measurement calibration for pulse pro le
measurements is accomplished in exactly the same way as for the standard HP 8510.
Following are two measurement calibration methods, one for calibration in the Pulse Pro le
domain, and the second for calibration using the Frequency List feature. Select the best one
for your application.
The pulse pro le domain calibration procedure is an easy way to familiarize yourself with
the pulse pro le domain and for general-purpose measurements using simple response-only
correction.
Use the frequency list technique when more than one pulse pro le frequency and 1-Port or
2-Port correction is required. Given adequate signal levels, accurate timing, and frequency
stability, there is essentially no di erence in the accuracy of the pulse pro le measured data
whether the calibration is performed in the pulse pro le domain as described in the rst
procedure or in the frequency domain as described in the second procedure. The main
advantage of calibration in the frequency domain is that you can calibrate at all frequencies in
the list while only connecting the standards once.
Pulse Profile Domain
