I/Q Full Band

Full band I/Q captures are a special measurement mode for the SM200 that allows users to capture short acquisitions at the full base band rate. Up to 32k samples can be captured at the 500MS/s baseband rate, representing a ~65us capture length. Captures can be external or video triggered (with the right configuration), or swept. Swept captures cannot be triggered and are performed by stepping the LO and performing an I/Q acquisition at each frequency step. The frequency can be tuned in 39.0625MHz steps (the native hardware resolution). The capture is AC coupled, and will exhibit a notch in the center of the baseband capture. Sweeps can cover > 1THz per second worth of spectrum.
