To use polar markers
This task shows you how to select the polar-marker format (magnitude and
phase or real and imaginary) and polar-marker units (dBm, Watts, or volts).
This task is a continuation of the previous task.
1. Select result coordinate power calculation:
Press [
Instrument Mode
], [demodulation setup], [more], [
normalize off]
.
2. Select the desired polar marker format:
Press [
Marker
], [
polar mkr setup
], [
format mag & phase
], [
W
].
3. Press [
Auto Scale
]
4. Rotate the knob to examine time points along the trajectory.
5. Select a different number of points per symbol:
Press [
Time
], [
points/symbol
], 10, [
enter
].
The vector diagram shows all time points on the trajectories between
decision points. More points per symbol creates a smoother vector
diagram. If you want to examine the marker value only at the decision
points you may select a constellation diagram. The cross-hairs show the
ideal detection-decision points (for details, see online help for [
Data Format]
[
more format setup][ideal state]).
In a vector diagram, the marker allows you to track all time points.
The measurement values reflect your
choice of polar marker format and
whether the measurement reflects
normalized or power units
