Making a Basic Average Power Measurement
To make an average power measurement, connect the
power sensor and cable, zero and calibrate the meter,
before making a measurement.
Zeroing of the Power Meter will occur automatically:
• Every time the Power Meter
function
is used.
• When a 5 degree C. change in instrument
temperature occurs.
• Whenever the power sensor is changed.
• Every 24 hours (min.).
• Before measuring low level signals
-
for example,
10
dB above the lowest specified power
the
power
sensor
is capable of.
Calibrating the Power Meter every time you cycle the
power on
and off.
In most situations, you can press {Zero} to complete the
two steps (zero and cal) together.
NOTE
If you suspect other signals may be present, it is
recommended that you turn off all the other channels and
measure average power only on the signal of interest.
Another option is to measure channel power (which is less
accurate), that filters out all other channels (signals). You can
measure channel power for CDMA using the CDMA Analyzer
or CDMA Over Air tool. For other modulation formats, use
their respective analyzers (that is, GSM, 1xEV-DO, or
W-CDMA) or measure channel power using either the
spectrum analyzer or the Channel Scanner tool.
NOTE
Connect the power meter as close as possible to the power
amplifier/duplexer output. Do not use a coupled port. Sensors
may not be as accurate at the power levels provided by
coupled ports.
