Making Pulse Measurements Using a Peak Power Analyzer

Applikationsberichte

Radar pulse measurement can be separated into two types. One is for individual pulse characterization, sometimes called the pulse shaping measurement. The other is the multi-pulse timing measurement. Radar pulse characterization and analysis measurement examples are rise/fall time, pulse droop, pulse width, peak power, and average power. Timing measurement examples are PRI, delay measurement, limiter recovery time, and multi-pulse spacing. To obtain all these measurements traditionally requires a combination of an oscilloscope, peak power meter and sensor, and sometimes a spectrum analyzer.

This application note demonstrates how the Keysight Technologies, Inc. 8990B peak power analyzer (PPA) is used to obtain 14-point pulse parameter values from the trace graph, where the parameters values are automatically calculated by the 8990B application whenever a trace pattern appears on the graph.
