Making RF Power-Level Measurements
The power level ranges listed for measurements A through E in
Table 6-4 apply after performing the following steps:
1. Ensure that the CAL OUT amplitude is within specification. (Refer to the
calibrator amplitude performance test in the calibration guide.)
2. Select the appropriate input signal for the desired frequency band:
Band 0 300 MHz at −20 dBm (CAL OUT signal)
Band 15 GHz at 0 dBm
Band 2 10 GHz at 0 dBm
Band 3 15 GHz at 0 dBm
Band 4 20 GHz at 0 dBm
3. Press , then wait for the analyzer to complete the preset routine.
