Reference (Advanced Radar)

Menu Path: MeasSetup > Advanced Radar Properties > Detection

Reference specifies that the signal detection reference level be either:

• Relative To Top Level (Default Setting)

  • Allows you to specify the desired Detection Threshold (dBm deciBels referenced to a milliWatt: dB relative to 1 milliwatt dissipated in the nominal input impedance of the analyzer) level as a relative Threshold (dB) offset from the measured acquisition Top Level (dBm) observed over the entire Acquisition Length (s). The measured acquisition Top Level (dBm) result is reported in the Pulse Summary results able.

• Relative To Base Level

  • Allows you to specify the desired Detection Threshold (dBm) level as a relative Threshold (dB) offset from the measured acquisition Base Level (dBm) observed over the entire Acquisition Length (s). The measured acquisition Base Level (dBm) result is reported in Pulse Summary results table.

    

• Relative to Range

  • Allows you to specify the desired Detection Threshold (dBm) level as a relative Threshold (dB) offset from the currently selected Input Range (dBm) level.

• Absolute

  • Allows you to specify the desired Detection Threshold (dBm) level directly, as an absolute Threshold (dBm) level.
