Displaying Accurate Peak Power (Recommended for Pulsed Signals)

---

For pulsed signals, you can get a more accurate measurement of the signal's peak or average power by using the Peak Power Detector setting.
The test set measures average power of signals by default. But for non-constant-duty-cycle signals such as GSM, an average power reading fails to accurately show amplitude when the signal is on if other timeslots in the frame are powered off.
If the [Power Detector] menu key is grayed out, the test set needs to be upgraded in order to measure pulsed signals. Contact the Agilent Service Center for upgrade information.
