Example Measurement Setup - Anritsu Field Master Pro Measurement Manual

High Accuracy Power Meter (Option 19)

Example Measurement Setup

This measurement example uses an Anritsu MA24106A power sensor and an attenuator for a high power
measurement.
1. Connect the USB cable between the sensor and your instrument. When the sensor is connected, a
notification in the top toolbar will identify the sensor model number.
2. Press the On/Off key to turn on your instrument.
3. Select the High Accuracy Power Meter by touching the 9-dot icon or from the current measurement icon
to display the available analyzers (see
desired analyzer icon to load the new analyzer.

4. Open the Zero/Cal menu and enter the Cal Frequency, or press Signal Standards to select a particular
standard. Calibration factors are stored in the power sensor for the corresponding measurement
frequency.
When using a signal standard, the channel number is not required because the calibration factor
Note
frequencies are rounded to the nearest 500 MHz.
5. With sensor RF input connector disconnected from any other device, press Zero to zero the sensor. This
step is recommended when making power measurements below –20 dBm.
6. Open the Amplitude menu and enter the EXTERNAL LOSS value of the attenuator.
With no loss or gain offset, the maximum value for the display is the upper measurement range,
Note which is +20 dBm. With an offset, such as with 10 dB of attenuation, the upper value can be set to
+30 dBm. With an offset of xx dB, the upper value can be set to +20 dBm plus xx dB.
7. Connect the power sensor to the RF output of the device to measure and read the power level on the
instrument display.
