Measuring Pulsed Signals
The power meter can be used to measure the power of a pulsed signal. The
measurement result is a mathematical representation of the pulse power rather
than an actual measurement (assumes constant peak power). The power meter
measures the average power of the pulsed input signal and then divides the
measurement result by the duty cycle value to obtain the pulse power reading.
The allowable range of values is 0.001% to 100%. The default value is 1.000%.
If duty cycle is enabled, then Dty Cyc is displayed.
An example of a pulsed signal is shown in Figure 2-16.

Pulse measurements are not recommended using Keysight E4412A and E4413A
