Automated Channel Power measurement.

Spectrum Traces

The MDO4000 Series offers f our different traces or views of the RF input

including Normal, Average, Max Hold, and Min H old. You can set the

detection method used for each trace type independently or you can leave

the osci

lloscope in the default Auto m ode that sets the detection type

optimally for the current conﬁguration. Detection types include +Peak,

–Peak, Average, and Sample.

RF Measurements

The MDO4000 Series includes three automated RF measurements –

Channel Power, Adjacent Channel Po wer Ratio, and Occupied Bandwidth.

When one of these RF m easurements is activated, the oscilloscope

automatically turns on the Average spectrum trace and sets the detection

method

to Average for optimal measurement results.

RF Probing

Signal

input methods on spectrum analyzers are typically limited to cabled

connections or antennas. But with the optional TPA-N-VPI adapter, any

active, 50 Ω TekVPI probe can be used with the RF input o n the MDO4000

Series. This enab les additional ﬂexibility when hunting for noise sou rces

and enables easier spec tral analysis by using tru e signal browsing on an

RF input.
