MEASURE
NOTE CCDF measurement requires the installation of Option AYX or Option 
B7D to ensure measurement accuracy.
For each single sweep of this measurement, the average power is 
defined by:
where V is the envelope voltage, Z
0 
is the characteristic impedance, and 
n is the number of samples (32k maximum).
Pavg is used as a guideline to define the probability of the samples, 
which is x dB above the average power. The number of samples 
collected per sweep depends upon the sampling rate and the setting of 
the measurement interval. Multiple sweeps may be required if the 
sample number exceeds the number of samples collected per sweep. The 
results and the CCDF curve are updated after every single sweep.
Results from a 2.17 GHz W-CDMA 3GPP input signal are shown below 
in Figure 2-6.
NOTE  It is important to set the correct center frequency before initiating this 
measurement.
