Effects of Averaging on Average only Mode Measurement Noise
Averaging over 1 to 1024 readings is available for reducing noise. The
previous tables provide the measurement noise for a particular sensor. Use
the noise multiplier in Table 3- 4 for the appropriate speed (Normal or
x2), and the number of averages to determine the total measurement noise
value.
Table 3-4 Noise Multiplier for Average only Mode
Example:
U2000A power sensor, –60 dBm to –35 dBm, number of averages = 4,
normal speed.
Measurement noise calculation:
1 nW x 2.08 = 2.08 nW
