Phase and frequency measurements
The “core” software (2FP) enables analysis of RF amplitude only (i.e. magnitude or
“envelope” versus time). To also see phase and frequency information, add Option 3FP.
You can examine phase- or frequency- vs-time traces, and use markers or “zoom”
features to take a closer look. Chirp (linear FM) modulation can be seen on the trace,
and/or automatically analyzed for chirp-slope and deviation from best-fit ideal linear
chirp. Similarly, you can visualize phase modulation (e.g., Barker codes), or measure
pulse-to-pulse phase stability automatically.
Figure 5. Open up a second display and view a phase or frequency trace that is time-aligned to the pulse
magnitude trace. Here, a linear FM chirp is easily measured.
