For two-tone testing, small errors in the measurement will result when the carriers are separated by more than
the specified bandwidth of the sensor. The amount of error is also a function of average power level. For
average power less than about -20 dBm, there is no modulation-induced measurement error at any tone
separation. Consult the error charts found in Section B.2.2.
Multi-carrier testing usually refers to more than two carriers combined into one signal. Common multicarrier
tests combine multiple carriers. In determining expected measurement error for these types of signals, the
maximum difference in frequency between any two carriers should be used as the tone separation when
applying the error charts in the manual.
Another important feature of multi-carrier signals is that they can have a high peak-to-average power ratio. This
ratio can be as high as 10 dB for multiple carriers. The significance of this in terms of making power
measurements is two-fold. First, care should be taken to keep the peak power level applied to the sensor below
the maximum recommended level. Second, when trying to minimize modulation-induced measurement error
for carriers separated by more the specified bandwidth of the sensor, it is the peak power level that should be
kept below about -20 dBm.
