What is the relationship between peak/average power statistics and the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) on the vector signal analyzer (VSA)?
These measurements do correlate for a given waveform, although that is not readily apparent. First, both the peak/average power statistics on the 89400 family of vector signal analyzers and the CCDF function on the 89400 and 89600 families of VSA´s are performed on time domain data that is cumulative over the length of the measurement. The Peak/Average Statistics (Marker Function > peak/average statistics) menu allows the user to display the peak power value, average power value and peak-to-average power ratio for a user-entered probability, for example 99% (peak percent). Calculations are performed on time domain data in any format. The results are in terms of voltages2 rms. For example, a signal may measure 32.581mV2 average, 35.442mV2 peak and 1.0 peak-to-average power ratio at 99%. The last result should be read as “99% of the time, the peaks of the signal are equal to or within a ratio of 1.0 to the average power value of the signal”, or inversely “1% of the time, the peaks will e
