Quick start example to perform an average power measurement
The following example guides you on how to quickly measure average power via BenchVue.
It is assumed that the U2040 X-Series is already connected to a signal generator.
1
Set up the signal generator as follows:
– Amplitude: 0 dBm
– Frequency: 1 GHz
– Modulation: Disabled
2
Turn on the RF output of the signal generator. Launch the BenchVue Power Meter
application (refer to
). By default the power meter mode is already set to
Average only.
3
Perform calibration and zeroing for an accurate measurement result.
4
Set the frequency of the U2040 X-Series to 1 GHz.
NOTE
For power measurements below –50 dBm, it is recommended to perform external zeroing
and turn off the RF output for better accuracy and repeatability.
