product manual for pulse profiling application: specs pg 8 freq range: 100Mhz to 8Ghz ; calibration factor .. about 4% linearity 3% to 7% depending on input power noise: 1 sec integration: 100Mhz to 6Ghz .02% .02% -30 to +20 dbm .04% -50 to -30 dbm ; video bandwidth power measurements: 10Mhz pulse profiling : 100 Khz pulse profiling opt4 : 100 Khz,200khz,... 10Mhz timebase +/- 50 ppm effective samplerate: 48 MS/sec measurements: 2000/sec Actual sampling rate 500 Khz(2usec)? from programming manual pg 73. page 27 -uses a repetitive under-sampling technique to reconstruct the input signal. results in an effective sample rate of 48 MS/s. - Signals with modulation bandwidths up to 10 MHz can be measured with high degree of accuracy. ; page 60. -1 buffer takes .3 to 1.0 msecs to acquire - somewhere else it says 250 usecs per buf. -you then average buffers. so 2000 averages .3 ms= .6 seconds is what we see for our readback times. ; ;programming guide: - pg 73 "antialiasing" - Normally the sampling rate is 500KHz. As baseband approaches the Nyquist criteria (realistically about 200 Khz) problems arise...
