Members

MemberDescriptionMinimum SW Version‡
BasebandAssumes that the reference plane desired is the direct baseband inputs to the ADCs and does not filter away the negative frequency components or scale the data like what is normally done for RF zoom measurements.
RFAssumes the signal had been frequency converted and low pass filtered in such a way that the negative frequency components of the signal have been removed and then the I and Q parts have had a gain of 2 applied so that the voltage levels reflect the original signal magnitude. The data will be processed so that the power is reflective of what the original RF signal power was before the frequency conversion (assuming no conversion loss). (i.e. that the reference plane is at the RF side of the frequency conversion).
‡ This is the minimum 89600 VSA software version level needed to use this enum member.
