Metering The Power Level - HP 8753E User Manual

Metering the power level

When you are measuring a device that is very sensitive to absolute power level, it is important
that you accurately set the power level at either the device input or output. The analyzer
is capable of using an external HP-IB power meter and controlling source power directly.
Figure 6-87 shows a typical test configuration for setting a precise leveled input power at the
device input.
