RF Channel Suite – continued
Power versus time measurement
This measurement is a graphical view of output power in the time
domain. It is also useful as a zero-span spectrum analyzer.
Dynamic range (–15 dBm input signal)
With 1, 30, 100, 300, 640 kHz Typically > 64 dB
GSM Tx power fi lters
With 1.23, 3.84, 5.0 MHz
Typically > 54 dB
W-CDMA mean power fi lters
IQ capture measurement
This measurement returns the IQ samples collected during the
most recent RF channel suite measurements in either rectangular
or polar format. The collected samples are provided as real/imagi-
nary number pairs in rectangular format, or as magnitude/phase
pairs in polar format.
