Sweep Type and Frequency

Set the source and receiver frequencies for the FOPS measurements. The receiver is
a Keysight U-Series Power Sensor. These are broadband measurement devices,
which means that they measure power over a very wide frequency range. Tables of
frequency and power correction factors are stored within the power sensors. The
receiver (Rx) frequencies are used ONLY to apply the appropriate correction factors
to the power levels measured with the power sensor.
NOTE It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that ONLY the signal of interest is present at the
power sensor. All other signals MUST be filtered appropriately.

through the following steps to make a measurement at the reference plane and
then store the data trace into memory.
1. Connect the power sensor to the measurement reference plane. This is the
location to where power measurements are to be referenced. For example, to
measure only the conversion loss through a converter, attach the power
sensor to the cable that connects to the converter input.
2. Press . When finished, press
