Applications such as radar and communication systems rely on the control and manipulation of pulse-modulated RF signals. Peak power sensors are often used to measure and characterize pulsed waveforms to maintain optimal system performance. These test instruments offer fast rise times for pulse edge tracking, wide video bandwidth to accurately measure envelope power, fine time resolution to analyze pulse shape and timing, and triggering capabilities to control and synchronize pulse measurements.
