Description
The ACPMEAS command makes a measurement and calculates the
adjacent channel power (ACP) of a transmitter. The measurement
determines the leakage power that is in the adjacent channels from the
carrier. The result is the ratio of the leakage power in the adjacent
channel to the total power transmitted by the transmitter.
The instrument state is evaluated to determine if the ACP
measurement can be made with the current parameter settings. If the
ACP state is set to default, the best settings for the measurement
parameters will be used. If the ACP state is set to current, the
measurement will be made with the current settings even though the
results may not be optimum.
The instrument state parameters that can be affected by the
ACPMEAS command are frequency span, resolution bandwidth, video
bandwidth, and detection mode. If trace math or video averaging are
currently on, they will be turned off.
The optional command SNGLS or CONTS can be used to make a single
measurement, or to measure continuously. If no parameter is specified,
the measurement is only made once. The results generated by
ACPMEAS are categorized as follows and can be queried using the
respective query command shown:
• lower channel power (ACPLOWER)
• upper channel power (ACPUPPER)
• total power transmitted (ACPPWRTX)
• maximum adjacent channel power (ACPMAX)
