Procedure
Performance Tests
Test 1 - Maximum Output Power (mW LO)
Test 1 - Maximum Output Power (μW LO)
This test measures the source's ability to put out its specified power. It does
this by measuring output power at several frequencies with a measuring
receiver's power meter function.
Specification
Output power:
2.4 to 6.6 GHz ...................................................................≥+16 dBm
7.2 to 25.8 GHz ................................................................ ≥+10 dBm
Equipment
HP 8902A Measuring Receiver (or equivalent power meter).
HP 11792A Sensor Module
Test Setup
Minimize the number of connector adapters. Normally, it's best to leave the
adaptor on the μW LO connector to prevent damage to the connector. If you
remove the adaptor for this test take care not to damage the center conductor.
Maximum Output Power Test Setup
Step 1 -Set up the measuring receiver
Make sure the measuring receiver's calibration factors match the sensor
module. Zero the power sensor and calibrate the power measurement using
the measuring receiver's built-in power reference.
Press the key to configure the HP 8902A as a power meter.
