N9051B Pulse Measurement Software X-Series Signal Analyzers

02 | Keysight | N9051B Pulse Measurement Software X-Series Signal Analyzers - Technical Overview

Features

– Display pulsed signals in a power-vs-time trace, providing more complete insight into radar, EW, and other pulsed signals — from your spectrum analyzer – Measure pulsed carriers up to 50 GHz and bandwidth up to 160 MHz (depending on configuration) – Intuitive “zoom” feature give you a closer examination of fine details within a long acquisition, by simply drawing a box with mouse – Up to 10 markers, including delta-markers, allow easy measurements of power differences and time intervals – Export images, traces, and pulse tables for your presentations, reports, archives, and deeper analysis in Excel – Examine phase and frequency characteristics, such as chirp, hopping, pulse-to- pulse phase, etc. (with Option 3FP) – Extended Analysis (Option 4FP) performs statistical analysis on large data sets (up to 200,000 pulses) accumulated from multiple acquisitions – Capture up to 50 MSa with Option 5FP “Deep Capture” – over 100x greater depth than the N9051A

well as amplitude (signal levels in dBm, Watts, or volts). read out precise timing and amplitude information. Figure 1. View pulsed RF signals in a magnitude-vs-time trace. Use markers and delta-markers to examine amplitude and timing details.

Figure 6. A distinct window contains the Extended Analysis features, including statistics, trend, and histogram views of large data-sets. Here is the probability distribution of PRI, showing four distinct modes.

Figure 7. With Option 5FP “Deep Capture”, you can capture up to 50 MSa per acquisition.
