There
are over 150 possible Swept IMD parameters, too many to
list here.
Build the parameters with
the Swept
IMD Parameter dialog, then copy the parameter name
to the remote command.
The following are a few
example parameters: |
"PwrMainLo" |
Absolute power of the
Low tone at the DUT output. |
"IM3" |
Power of the third product
relative to the average power of the f1 and f2 tones measured
at the DUT output. |
"OIP3" |
Theoretical power level
at which the third product will be the same power level
as the average of the main tones at the output of the
DUT. |
