Unique Pulses

A unique pulse means that no other pulse has exactly the same parameters or data. Each pulse in the pulse library is a unique pulse. A pulse used in a pattern library twice can result in two unique pulses in the Arb memory when the frequency offset, phase offset, or power scale values are set differently. Using pulse width jitter results in a number of unique pulses equal to the repetition count in the Pattern library. When an Antenna Scan is applied to a single pulse, the number of unique pulses loaded into memory can be 650 or more.

The M9484C VXG signal generator supports sequencing by address. So, the number of unique pulses is equal to the sequence size divided by two.

The maximum number of unique pulses is as follows:
