Description
The total RF power in the selected channel (located in the ACPR display).
Measure of the signal power leaking from the main channel into adjacent channels.
The ratio of the signal power in the reference channel or group of channels to the power
in adjacent channels.
Ratio of the peak power in the transmitted signal to the average power in the transmitted
signal (located in the CCDF display).
The Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF). CCDF shows how much
time a signal spends at or above a given power level relative to the average power of
a measured signal.
