4.1.1.2 Relationship Between Sample Rate, Record Length and Usable I/Q Bandwidth
Up to the maximum bandwidth, the following rule applies:
Usable I/Q bandwidth = 0.8 * Output sample rate
Regarding the record length, the following rule applies:
Record length = Measurement time * sample rate
Maximum record length for RF input
The maximum record length, that is, the maximum number of samples that can be cap-
tured, depends on the sample rate.
Table 4-1: Maximum record length (without I/Q bandwidth extension options)
Sample rate Maximum record length
100 Hz to 200 MHz 440 Msamples
200 MHz to 10 GHz
(upsampling)
MSRA master:
200 MHz to 600 MHz
220 Msamples
MSRA operating mode
In MSRA operating mode, the MSRA Master is restricted to a sample rate of 600 MHz.
