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.
