ZNA
280User Manual 1178.6462.02 ─ 29
provides configuration of the internal pulse modulators and pulse profile measure-
ments. The measurement bandwidth can be increased up to 50 MHz.
●
Option R&S ZNA-K7 requires the Increased IF bandwidth 30 MHz option
R&S ZNA-K17.
For better time resolution, pulse profile measurements use the Memory extension for
data streaming option R&S ZNA-B7, if available.
4.7.6.1 Live pulse analysis with R&S VSE
The R&S VSE vector signal explorer software brings the experience and power of
Rohde & Schwarz signal analysis to a desktop PC. Its "Pulse measurements applica-
tion" (option R&S VSE-K6) can analyze parameters such as pulse duration, pulse
period, pulse rise and fall times, power drop across a pulse, and intrapulse phase mod-
ulation, and produces a trend analysis over many pulses.
The R&S ZNA can push pulse profile measurement data to a running R&S VSE
instance for further (live!) analysis.
Requirements
●
R&S ZNA:
– FW V2.20 or higher
– with option R&S ZNA-K7 "Pulsed measurements"
●
R&S VSE:
– basic or enterprise edition (licensed separately)
– running on the R&S ZNA or on a PC that is reachable via LAN
– V1.90 or higher
– with option R&S VSE-K6 "Pulse measurements application"
Limitations
●
only b-waves can be pushed to the R&S VSE
●
only a single b-wave can be pushed to the R&S VSE at a time
●
the sweep duration must be 50 µs or higher
