Creating, Viewing, and Optimizing Multitone Waveforms
To Determine Peak to Average Characteristics
This procedure describes how to set the phases of the tones in a multitone waveform and determine the peak
to average characteristics by plotting the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF).
1. Press
Mode > Multitone > Initialize Table > Number of Tones > 64 > Enter.
2. Press
Freq Spacing > 20 > kHz.
3. Press
Initialize Phase Fixed Random to Fixed.
4. Press
Done.
5. Press
Apply Multitone.
6. Press
More (1 of 2) > Waveform Statistics > Plot CCDF.
You should now see a display that is similar to the one shown in Figure 8-7. The CCDF plot displays the
peak to average characteristics of the waveform with all phases set to zero.
