Reply To: Real-time mode for narrow pulse and low duty cycle signal

Hi Justin,
I’ve only tried zero-span mode with SA44B with video trigger level at 0dBm. Although the pulse energy is at 10dBm, you can barely recognize the 5uS envelope.
But I’m not interested in the absolute accuracy of the amplitude of the pulse. Rather, the central freqency measurement accuracy really matters in my application.
As my signal source has high Q value of about 15000.
Even a few 10KHz deviation of the peak central frequency detection is not acceptable.
I’m evaluating if BB60C is capable of delivering such central freqency measurement accuracy for the 5uS pulse.
