Wideband pulse system dynamic range
The wideband detection with PNA-X can be used for relatively fast pulsed-RF
operation (with shorter PRI or high PRF) compared to legacy VNA’s due to a wide
IF bandwidth up to 15 MHz. However, the recommended IF bandwidth should be
wide enough to capture most of the pulse spectrum, while the dynamic range
and trace noise performance meets the measurement requirements. Figure 16
compares the PNA-X wideband pulse dynamic ranges at 5 MHz and 200 kHz IF
bandwidth as a reference.
