Transmit Power Troubleshooting

Transmit Power Troubleshooting

June 29, 1999

Possible Setup Issues

During remote operation of the Transmit Power measurement the user should configure the trigger arm to 
single, see 

“SETup:TXPower” on page 432

.

Failure to set trigger arm to single may result in the measurement never giving a result. When trigger arm is 
continuous the measurement rearms itself and starts another measurement cycle, during remote operation 
the fetch query may not be synchronized to the measurement cycle, see 

“Measurement States” on page 150

.

If trigger source immediate is used for burst modulated signals the results returned will be unreliable. Burst 
modulated signals should be measured with Trigger Source set to RF Rise or Auto.

The Transmit Power Average, Transmit Power Maximum, Transmit Power Minimum results are shifted in 
proportion to the value of Amplitude Offset that a user may set. The following table shows the measurements 
that are affected and how amplitude offset affects them. For more information about amplitude offset 
commands, see 

“Measurement Related Configuration” on page 563

.

Interpreting Integrity Indicator values 

See 

“Integrity Indicator” on page 125

.

If over range (5) is returned; the input power has exceeded the test set’s internal sampler maximum value 
during some part of the sampling or the input power has exceeded the calibrated range of the test set’s power 
detector for the RF Range setting. RF Range is automatically set based on the input power setting. Input 
power is a combination of amplitude offset and expected power settings. See 

“Receiver example” on page 564

.

If the signal has both over range and under range conditions only the over range (5) will be indicated.

If under range (6) is returned; the Transmit Power result is more than 10 dB below the expected input power 
level. Under range is also indicated if, the input power is more than 2 dB below the calibrated range of the test 
set’s power detector for the RF Range setting. RF Range is automatically set based on the input power setting. 
Input power is a combination of amplitude offset and expected power settings. See 

“Receiver example” on page 

564
