What is the “pattern repetition rate” or “pattern frequency” specified in AP2440A series brochure?
The Optical complex spectrum analyzer principle requires a repeated pattern. Pattern frequency (or pattern repetition rate) = bit rate / number of bits of the pattern The length of this repeated bit sequence depends on the bit rate (click here for pattern length information). The AP2440A series offer two different ranges of pattern frequency : • Range 1 : 2.48GHz to 3.12GHz • Range 2 : 620MHz to 781MHz For other, custom repeat frequencies, please, contact us.
