Scaling of pulses

13. Scaling of pulses and monitoring power available from the source

In earlier versions of QuickWave software, precise scaling of sinusoidal and delta sources was provided, with 1W of time-maximum of power available at the excitation frequency and wide-band, respectively. In version 6.0 this has been extended to other excitation waveforms. With unity amplitude, all pulses provide 1W of time-maximum available power at the centre frequency; increasing the amplitude by a factor of A increases the power by A².

Additionally, a new FD-Pavailable postprocessing has been added. It performs Fourier transform of the excitation signal and allows displaying the available power versus frequency. Examples of application are given in Section UG 2.13.3.
