3 Short-Range Comms & IoT Mode
3.9 Occupied BW Measurement
Peak-to-Average Ratio
Used with "Range (Non-attenuator models)" on page 1651 to optimize the level
control in the instrument. The value is the ratio, in dB, of the peak power to the
average power of the signal to be measured. A ratio of 0 should be used for
sinusoidal signals; for 802.11g OFDM signals use 9dB.
All Modes show the current value of Peak-to-Average ratio on the control. However,
some Modes do not permit changing the value. In these situations, the control is
grayed-out.
Remote Command
[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe:PARatio <real>
[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe:PARatio?
Example
:POW:RANG:PAR 12 dB
Notes In some Modes, this parameter is read-only; meaning the value will appear on the control and query
via SCPI, but is not changeable. In such applications the control is grayed-out. Attempts to change the
value via SCPI are ignored, but no error message is generated
