ImmersionRC | ImmersionRC RF Power Meter
6
Example 2: Measuring UHF output power
Connect the output of the device to be tested to the power meter, with an appropriate attenuator.
For power levels around 500mW, a 30dB attenuator is suitable.
For power levels up to 2W, use a 40dB attenuator instead.
Enter the menu on the power meter, and enter the attenuator value. If you know precisely (calibrated
attenuator), enter the fine attenuation also.
On the second page of the menu, select
Peak
power mode, and select either dBm, or mW for the
readout, depending upon how you prefer to display power readings.
Exit the menu, select the appropriate frequency range using the left/right buttons, and apply power to
the meter, and the device under test.
Example 3: Measuring A/V Tx output power
Connect the output of the device to be tested to the power meter, with an appropriate attenuator.
For power levels around 500mW, a 30dB attenuator is suitable.
For power levels up to 2W, use a 40dB attenuator instead.
Enter the menu on the power meter, and enter the attenuator value. If you know precisely (calibrated
attenuator), enter the fine attenuation also.
On the second page of the menu, select
Avg
power mode, and select either dBm, or mW for the
readout, depending upon how you prefer to display power readings.
Exit the menu, select the appropriate frequency range using the left/right buttons, and apply power to
the meter, and the device under test.
