Additional Information

Time Domain Mode
In Time Domain, the amplitude of a single frequency is measured, rather than
sweeping a range of frequencies. The RF Meter measures and displays the
amplitude of the frequency for a specified period (sweep time) and refreshes
the display during the next sweep. The Time Domain trace resembles the
horizontal line display on an oscilloscope.
Bandwidth (Video Filter) —
accuracy. The filter should be as narrow as possible while still being larger than
the demodulated signal bandwidth (video bandwidth). Narrowing the filter
limits the noise contribution caused by interfering signals.

None (no filter)

4.5 kHz

500 kHz

5 MHz
Correction Frequency —
or allow the sensor to determine frequency.

Setting is a user selectable value between 6 GHz and 3.5 GHz. The
specified frequency will be used in correcting the power measurement.

auto enabled (default, sensor determines frequency)
Note: Use correction frequency when the sensor is unable to measure
the frequency of a signal.
Duty Cycle —
Average power. If sensor is capable, the duty cycle will be inferred by the sensor
hardware and reported. A user-defined duty cycle can be entered to override
the sensor provided value.
User settings for duty cycle: user selects duty cycle or allows the sensor to
determine duty cycle.

Setting is a user selectable value between 100.00 and 0.00

auto enabled
The variable video filter is used to improve
