13. Maximum
Leveled Output Power Test
13.0 Description
The Maximum
Leveled Output Power test verifies that
the synthesizer meets Its
maximum
leveled power specifications over
a
variety of
sweep ranges, sweep modes,
and
sweep
speeds
The test uses the internal
power meter and unleveled
indication circuitry within the
synthesizer to
measure maximum
leveled power- Upon completion of the test, the
program
uses the measurement data obtained from this test and the test data obtained from the Output
Power Accuracy test to calculate the actual
maximum
leveled output power The results from
the calculations are compared with the maximum leveled
output power specifications to
determine
if the
DUT passed
or failed
Since the test uses circuitry internal
to the synthesizer to perform the measurements, no
equipment Is required except for
a
20
dB
attenuator The 20 dB attenuator
Is used to provide
a
50 Ohm
load
on
the output of the
DUT
(improves the
measurement accuracy)
NOTE
This test will not
run
unless the Output Power Accuracy test has been
performed.
The data tile
generated
for the verification must be on the
data disc currently
in the disc
drive.
