Power measurements on pulsed radar signals

Rohde & Schwarz spectrum analyzers can perform highly accurate mean and peak power measurements on a pulsed radar signal over a wide dynamic range. The high bandwidth is optimally suited for measuring short rise/fall times.

The Power Meter R&S NRP-Z81 also measures pulsed radar signals.

Power measurements
Pulse width determined with delta markers
Noise figure measurement
Scalar analysis with independent generation and spectrum analysis capability
Phase noise measurement – cross-correlation to reduce phase noise
 
  Vector network analysis
Frequency-converting frontend measurement
Antenna measurement with remote mixers
