Pulse Profile Domain Measurements
This chapter contains measurement calibration and measurement pro cedures to displaythe
pulsed-RF S-parameters versus time.
Measurement Calibration for Pulse Profile
After selection of the pulse prole frequency, measurement calibration for pulse prole
measurements is accomplished in exactly the same way as for the standard HP 8510.
Following are two measurement calibration metho ds, one for calibration in the Pulse Prole
domain,
and the
second for
calibration using
the F

List
feature.
