How to Measure Droop Using an 8990B Peak Power Analyzer

Application Notes

Pulse droop measurement is important for testing the stability of a power amplifier’s or transmitter’s output power. For example, the output power of a radar transmitter has to be stable in order to meet the radar detection and performance specifications. Droop measurement allows operators to monitor the stability of the transmitter power.

The conventional solution for measuring the droop signal requires a peak power meter that supports four markers and a delta marker. While the active marker and the delta marker can be used to measure the droop on the radar pulse, users have to manually allocate the marker at the rising and falling edges of the radar pulse signal prior measuring the droop measurement.
