7.  Quasi-Peak (an option for DSA800/E) 
It is a weighted form of peak detector. For each data point, the detector detects 
the peaks within the corresponding time interval. The peaks detected are 
weighted using circuit with specified charge and discharge structures as well as 
the display time constant specified in the CISPR Publication 16 standards and 
the result is displayed. Quasi-Peak detector is applicable to EMI testing. 
 
Note: Compared to the discharge time, the charge time of Quasi-Peak 
detector is much shorter and can reflect the amplitude as well as time 
distribution of the signal. 
 
 
Filter Type 
 
Set the RBW filter type. 
 
Key Points: 
  DSA800/E supports two kinds of RBW filters: “Gause” (-3 dB bandwidth) and 
“EMI” (-6 dB bandwidth). 
  When “EMI” is selected, resolution bandwidth can be 200 Hz, 9 kHz or 120 
kHz only. 
  The default is “Gause”; the instrument will switch to “EMI” filter automatically 
when “Quasi-Peak” detector is selected.
