Power Level Accuracy Check

Configure the Power Meter

1. Zero and calibrate the power meter to the sensor’s reference calibration factor.

2. Set the power meter to measure absolute log power (dBm).

Measure the Power Level Accuracy

1. Set the power levels and frequencies for the signal generator to the maximum signal generator frequency.

Refer to

Table 3-8, “Power Level Accuracy Setup 1,” on page 45

2. Set the power sensor’s calibration factor for each frequency.

3. Record the measured power level in

Table 3-8

and compare it to the corresponding limits.
