Low Level Performance Check

This procedure provides a quick-check list for evaluating meter/sensor performance for low-level

measurements. It is not intended to verify performance of specifications such as Noise, Temperature Coefficient

and Zero Set. For complete verification, please refer to Chapter 4.

This test is meant to check the low level performance of the meter and sensor. In order to do so, the meter

and sensor should first be separated from any external amplifiers, test systems, etc. Turn the meter on and

allow stabilization at ambient for a minimum of 30 minutes. Connect the sensor cable to the meter and the

sensor to the calibrator output port.

Calibration.

Calibrate the power meter by pressing the

[CAL/ZERO]

button.

NOTE:

During calibration an approximate zero is established for calibration purposes only. This zero is

not valid for actual measurements and can limit the measurement range as high as –50 dBm. For

proper low-level measurements, the sensor must be zeroed at the test port of the system being

tested. Zeroing at the test port provides corrections for ground line voltages and connector interface

EMF.

Zeroing.

Validation of meter and sensor noise floor will be checked using an attenuator or termination.

Connect the attenuator or termination to the sensor and allow the unit to stabilize for 3 minutes. The

sensor must be thermally stabilized for proper zeroing. If the thermal condition of the sensor varies during

the zero procedure, the zero will not be valid.

Set averaging to 1024 and configure for CW operation. After the unit has thermally stabilized, push the

[CAL/ZERO]

button.

Immediately after zeroing, confirm that the meter reading is at least 3 dB below the minimum CW

operating range of the sensor. This checks the noise floor and zero set capabilities of the meter and sensor.

Zero Drift.

Zero Drift is a measure of the change in noise over time. Each family sensor will have a specified

expectation of drift over a one-hour period. To confirm, set the meter to linear display (Watts) after

verifying noise floor and check that the display does not drift beyond specification over a one-hour period.

Verification for specifications such as noise, zero drift and temperature coefficient of linearity are difficult, time

consuming tests. This checklist is useful to quickly determine if there is a catastrophic system failure. Failure to

meet the above guidelines is not necessarily an indication of specification failure. Final confirmation of system

specification performance is achieved using the verification procedures found in Chapter 4.
