Pulse Mode is only available when using a peak power sensor, and is best choice
for most pulse modulated and periodic signals. Multiple modulation cycles may be
averaged together, and measurement intervals may span both before and after the
trigger. Pulse Mode is best for the following types of measurements:
• Moderate signal level (above about -40dBm except when modulation is
“off”).
• The signal is periodic.
• A time snapshot of a single event is needed (minimum single-shot time
is 200 nano seconds).
• Typical modulation and signal types: NADC, GSM (and extensions),
TDMA, RADAR, SatCom, TCAS, Bluetooth, iDEN, NTSC, Wireless
LAN.
