[SADXA] PEP vs N Tone Average Power - Amplifier Tuning

[Wes]

Dick,

I accidentally deleted your response to this.  What I was trying to say is that 
on a pulsed signal, the thermocouple sensors read "average" power, since they 
are basically reading the heat generated in the thermocouple junction.
