Measuring Low-PRF Pulsed Signals with a Standard HP 8510B Vector Network Analyzer Within Milliseconds (Het Meten van Lage-PRF Gepulste Signalen met een Standaard HP 8510B Vector Network Analyzer Binnen Enkele Milliseconden)

Abstract

This report describes how a Hewlett Packard HP 8510B vector network analyzer with a non-pulsed test set can be used for measuring pulsed-RF signals with a low pulse repetition frequency within milliseconds, by making use of the external trigger facility. This measurement configuration is derived after an analysis of the signal flow through the receiver of the network analyzer. Although the measurement method is derived for a specific pulsed-RF signal (carrier: 5.3 GHz; pulse repetition frequency: 3.5 kHz; pulse width: 12.8 microsec) and meant for use in a near-field measurement facility, its applicability is more general. It will not be possible to perform pulse profile measurements. Netherlands.
