Measurement Display

• View corrected waveforms in frequency, time, power and parametric domains. Currently showing absolute amplitude of ‘a’ and ‘b’ waves from device in frequency and time domain. Can also display all formats including cross-frequency phase.


April 21, 2023

Advantages:

•Lower temperature sensitivity

•Lower sensitivity to input power

•Smaller minimum tone spacing (10 MHz vs 600 MHz)

•Lower frequency (10 MHz vs 600 MHz)

•Much wider dynamic range due to available energy vs noise
