Figure 1. Measured rise time percentage error versus signal under test rise time
Although the rise time specification is ≤ 13 ns, this does not mean that the P-Series
meter and sensor combination can accurately measure a signal with a known rise time
of 13 ns. The measured rise time is the root sum of the squares (RSS) of the signal
under test rise time and the system rise time (13 ns):
Measured rise time = √ ((signal under test rise time)

+ (system rise time)

),
and the % error is:
% Error = ((measured rise time – signal under test rise time)/signal under test
rise time) x 100
2. See Appendix A on page 9 for measurement uncertainty calculations.
3. Specification applies only when the Off video bandwidth is selected.
4. The Minimum Pulse Width is the recommended minimum pulse width
viewable on the power meter, where power measurements are
meaningful and accurate, but not warranted.
5. Specification is valid over –15 to +20 dBm, and a frequency range 0.5 to
10 GHz, DUT Max. SWR < 1.27 for the N1921A, and a frequency range
0.5 to 40 GHz, DUT Max. SWR < 1.2 for the N1922A. Averaging set to 32,
in Free Run mode.
