Pulse Detection Reference (Pulse)

Menu Path: Analysis > Pulse Properties > Pulse Detection

Specifies that the signal pulse detection reference level be either:

• Relative To Top Level (Default Setting)

  • Allows you to specify the desired Pulse 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 table.

• Relative To Base Level

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