3.6 Measuring the Time-Domain Power
DSA1030/DSA1030-TG that has installed the Advanced Measurement Kit option can
measure the time-domain power such as the transmitted power in TDMA. In the
example below, we use a generator (such as RIGOL DG3101A) to output a sine signal
with 100 MHz and -10 dBm as the signal under measure.
Procedures:
1. Device attachment
Connect the output terminal of the generator to the RF INPUT 50Ω terminal on
the front panel of the analyzer.
2. Measure the time-domain power
(1) Reset the analyzer
－Press Preset
(2) Set the parameters
－Press FREQ
－Press Center Freq and enter 100 MHz.
－Press Meas
－Press Meas Fctn and enter the lower menu.
－Press T-Power
Read the measuring result from the measurement frame at the lower left
corner.
(3) Modify the time power settings
－Press Meas Setup
－Press Peak
－Press Start Line and enter 1 ms.
－Press Stop Line and enter 9 ms.
3. Measurement result
The measurement result shown in the lower window is -9.95 dBm, see figure
below.
