Overshoot Metrics (Advanced Radar)

Menu Path: Trace > Data > Result Tables

This topic describes the Overshoot metrics displayed in the Pulse Table.

• Overshoot (dB)

  • The magnitude at the peak level occurring directly after the pulse rising edge (mid-level crossing).

  • Overshoot is not calculated unless there are at least ten data points associated with the pulse on portion.

• Overshoot %

  • The overshoot is calculated as (Overshoot_Voltage minus Average_Top_Level) divided by Average_Range, expressed as a percentage.

  • When Amplitude Scaling is set to Real, the Overshoot (%) metric is reported in %V units.

  • When Amplitude Scaling is set to Magnitude, the Overshoot (%) metric is reported in %W units.

 

Overshoot is defined as the height of the maximum after a rising edge, divided by the pulse amplitude, as shown in the following formulas and illustration:
