DIGITAL SAMPLING POWER ANALYZER
Information
The Model 4500 Digital Sampling Power Analyzer is a new
generation RF power meter. This instrument, when operated
with 56000 series power sensors, comprises the most
versatile power measuring system available, with capability
to make over 25 different measurements on captured signals.
The instrument can measure the peak and average power of
signals in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 40 GHz with a
dynamic range of over 60 dB.
The Digital Sampling Power Analyzer provides performance
which previously required multiple instruments, and it
provides that performance faster, with increased accuracy;
while adding functionality not previously available. The
speed is visible during the screen update process, waveform
response rate and the IEEE-488 performance. The Model 4500
is the fastest power meter available with the ability to
talk two marker measurements over eighty times a second.
The instrument has three fundamental operating modes. These
are pulse power, CW power and statistical processing. Each
of these modes is targeted at a specific type of measurement.
In the pulse power mode the instrument is similar to a peak
power meter. It can be configured as a single or dual
channel instrument. This mode provides the functionality of
an random repetitive sampling Oscilloscope for viewing the
RF envelope of signals in the frequency range of 30 MHz to
40 GHz. Its accuracy approaches that of average power
meters, but with the ability to capture power versus time
data. With the requirement of an internal or external
trigger event it can automatically measure up to 14
characteristics of the RF envelope. These are ,peak power,
average power, pulse width, risetime, falltime, overshoot,
pulse period, pulse repetition rate, duty cycle, top
amplitude, bottom amplitude, offtime, and the delay between
two RF pulses or an RF pulse with an external trigger
signal. In addition to the automatic measurements, the
Digital Sampling Power Meter offers a powerful set of marker
measurements which includes the ability to make marker
measurements at full accuracy, independent of vertical scale
or offset. This is possible because of the use of
logarithmic amplifiers, and a 12 bit analog to digital
Converter to provide rangeless operation. In addition, the
markers can be used to define regions of the waveform for
analysis. This analysis includes average power of a portion
of the waveform, minimum power, and maximum power.
In the CW mode the instrument’s low end performance is
improved by 10 dB, which provides a signal measurement range
of up to 70 dB (-50 to +20 dBm). This is accomplished by
automatically limiting the input bandwidth of the instrument
and using a second low bandwidth internal measurement channel.
In the statistical mode the Digital Sampling Power Analyzer
offers many new features. This mode does not require a
trigger event to make measurements like the pulse power
mode. The instrument continuously samples the RF signal at
approximately half a million samples a second, without
discarding or losing any data. All of this data can be
processed statistically to determine peak power, average
power, minimum power, peak to average power ratio, and
dynamic range, while reporting the sampling time, total
samples captured and the statistical tolerance of the data.
In addition, this data can be displayed in three different
graphical representations. These are probability density
function plot, cumulative distribution function plot (CDF),
and one minus cumulative distribution function plot (1-CDF).
This mode is very useful in applications where the signal is
random in nature; such as digital communication and multiple
carrier systems.
