7 Run Power Calibration

S9101A 5G Multi-Band Vector Transceiver, Startup Guide

7. 4. 3. 3 Calibrating S9101A-TR2

Calibration 1 of 4: Power from RRH 1 RFHD 1 -> RRH 1 RFHD 2, Transceiver 1

This calibration is used to calibrate the FR2 mmWave ports of
mmWave Transceiver 1 (with

RF Tx/Rx 1

➀

used as the

RF Output) on an S9101A-TR2 5G Multi-Band Vector Transceiver.

When performing this Power Calibration, the Source (Tx) output
power level is set to -5 dBm by default.

1. Calibrate the Source (Tx) signal path

a. Select the Power Calibration tab.

b. Select the Operation drop-down arrow and select

Calibration

c. Select the Calibration Step(s) drop-down arrow and select
