In environments such as mobile use as well as in service shops and education, spectrum analyzers with
dedicated built-in pulsed-signal analysis features are often not available. This paper describes the smartphone
app Pulsed RF Calculator that aids in finding the right choice of spectrum analyzer settings to calculate
the so-called pulse desensitization for manual compensation of pulsed signal amplitudes. Automatic
compensation and many other features necessary for in-depth pulsed signal analysis require the use of
dedicated functionalities and are outside the scope of this app.
