Output from pulse generator 2.
3 Pulsed RF signal input to the spectrum analyzer.

Gate output from time-gated capability, Notice that the gate output is directly below signal
1.
If you do not have an oscilloscope, it is very important to use the
guidelines for determining gate length and gate delay. See “Setting the
Gate Delay and Gate Length Properly” following this section.
4. The gate delay must be equal to the signal delay plus the pulse width
(7)
divided by 2. For the first signal, there is no signal delay, so
the gate delay needs to be set to 50
&2,
or 25
+s.

6. Set the resolution bandwidth to a value that is greater than 2 divided by
the gate delay minus the signal delay. For this signal 1, there is no signal
delay, so the resolution bandwidth is set greater than
2/25

or greater
than 80
