Measuring Channel Power

Measures the power and power spectral density in
the channel bandwidth that you specified. One pair
of vertical lines of the displayed green frame
indicates the edges of the channel bandwidth. The
center frequency, reference level, and channel
bandwidth must be set by the user.
The power calculation method used to determine
the channel power is a traditional method known
as the integration bandwidth (IBW) method. A
swept spectrum is used as the basis for this
calculation. Therefore, it is important to set the
resolution bandwidth correctly before making this

measurement using the following formula:

Where k is a value between 1.2 and 4.0 and n is

the number of trace points.

Center Frequency

Sets the center frequency of the display.

Key Access:

[MEAS] > {Channel Power} > {Center Freq}

Integration Bandwidth

Specifies the bandwidth of integration bandwidth
which ranges from 100 Hz to 3 GHz to calculate
the power in a channel. For example, set the main
(center) channel bandwidth. Note that the green
frame indicates the integration bandwidth. You are
allowed to change integration bandwidth using the
knob, the arrow keys or the numeric keypad.
