Pulse Modulation Rise/Fall Time

M9484C with option PMR or PME

This test verifies that the internal pulse modulator's rise and fall time meets specifications.

Pulse modulation rise/fall time is defined as the amount of time it takes the pulse envelope to transition from the 10% pulse envelope level to the 90% pulse envelope level on both the rising and falling edges of the pulse.

During the test, the signal generator is placed in an internal pulse modulation mode at a certain power level and the rise and fall time of the pulse envelope is measured with a high performance oscilloscope.
