    Time-Gating Measurement Similar to P-Series power meter, P-Series modular power meter offers extensive triggering facilities for making time-gated measurements. This allows useful average, peak and peak-to-average ratio measurements of complex modulation formats to be taken. This demonstration shows the versatility of the time-gating features of P-Series modular power meter, by setting up four independent times gates on a TDMA signal to measure...
