Remote command:

Fast ACLR
If activated, instead of using the IBW method, the R&S FSW sets the center frequency
to the different channel center frequencies consecutively and measures the power with
the selected measurement time (= sweep time/number of channels).
Remote command:
[SENSe:]POWer:HSPeed on page 858
Selected Trace
The CP/ACLR measurement can be performed on any active trace.

Absolute and Relative Values (ACLR Mode)
The powers of the adjacent channels are output in dBm or dBm/Hz (absolute values),
or in dBc, relative to the specified reference Tx channel.
"Abs"
The absolute power in the adjacent channels is displayed in the unit
of the y-axis, e.g. in dBm, dBµV.
"Rel"
The level of the adjacent channels is displayed relative to the level of
the transmission channel in dBc.
Remote command:
[SENSe:]POWer:ACHannel:MODE on page 891
Channel power level and density (Power Unit)
By default, the channel power is displayed in absolute values. If "/Hz" is activated, the
channel power density is displayed instead. Thus, the absolute unit of the channel
power is switched from dBm to dBm/Hz.
Note: The channel power density in dBm/Hz corresponds to the power inside a band-
width of 1 Hz and is calculated as follows:
"channel power density = channel power – log
10
(channel bandwidth)"
Thus you can measure the signal/noise power density, for example, or use the addi-
tional functions Absolute and Relative Values (ACLR Mode) and Reference Channel to
obtain the signal to noise ratio.
