Measurement Procedure

When making Tuned RF Level measurements, optimal measurement accuracy and
NOTE
speed is obtained by setting the frequency on the PSA directly using the
FREQUENCY Channel
Press the Restart key to optimize the measuring receiver configuration if you make

any changes to the UUT or to the measuring receiver settings after you make your
first measurement.
Using a Power Meter with a N5532A/B Sensor Module (Absolute TRFL
Measurement)
Step 1. Connect, configure and verify the measurement system. See
Connections" on page 44
Step 2. Calibrate the Power Meter see
Step 3. Connect the sensor module to the signal source and assure proper connector care
and connector torque settings are followed. SMA/3.5 mm connectors should
receive 8 inch-pounds of torque and Type N connectors 12 in-pounds.
Step 4. On the PSA, perform the Auto Align routine by pressing
All Now
Step 5. Set the signal source amplitude and frequency. For this example use 0 dBm and 50
MHz.
Step 6. Configure the PSA settings as follows:
