Network Analyzers using S2VNA software

To turn the function on and select the pulse measurement mode, use the following softkeys:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Pulse Mode

Where:

•Point-in-Pulse — measuring the frequency response of pulsed devices using wideband detection

•Narrowband — measuring the frequency response of pulsed devices using narrowband detection

•Pulse Profile — measurement of pulse parameters (amplitude envelope and pulse phase) in the time domain over the width of one RF pulse

•Pulse Profile (High Resolution) — pulse profile measurement with higher time resolution, using a series of pulses instead of one

•Pulse-to-Pulse — tracking the drift of DUT parameters over the width of a burst of pulses with one carrier frequency

To select a pulse trigger source, use the following softkeys:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Pulse Trigger [Internal | External (Trig 3)]

To select the active edge of an external trigger source, use the following softkeys:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Pulse Trigger > Edge [Positive | Negative]

To select the modulator type, use the following softkeys:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Modulator Type [Normal | Fast]

To set modulating pulse parameters, use the following softkeys:

•repetition period of pulses when the pulse trigger source is internal:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Pulse Period

•modulation pulse width:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Pulse Delay

•modulation pulse delay from trigger:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas >  Pulse Width

Set the width and delay of the measurement for Point in Pulse, Narrowband and Pulse to Pulse modes using the following softkeys:

•measurement width:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Meas Width

•measurement delay from trigger:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Meas Delay

Set the width, delay, and resolution of the profile for Pulse Profile and Pulse Profile (High Resolution) modes using the following softkeys:

•measurement profile width:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Profile Width

•measurement profile delay from trigger:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Profile Delay

•measurement profile resolution:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Profile Resolution

Turn software gating on to improve signal-to-noise ratio when using Narrowband mode.

To turn software gating on, use the following softkeys:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > SW Gating [ON | OFF]

To turn the timing diagram display on, use the following softkeys:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Timing Diagram [ON | OFF]

To turn the built-in pulse generator on, use the following softkeys:

Stimulus > Pulse Meas > Pulse Generator Outputs > PG n (Trig n)

To set the parameters of the internal generator, use the following softkeys:

•pulse delay:

Pulse Generator Outputs > PG n Delay

•pulse width:

Pulse Generator Outputs > PG n Width

•pulse polarity:

Pulse Generator Outputs > PG n Polarity
