Introduction
Two types of measurements are used in the following. It will be specified if the measure-
ment type is "RF" or "LF".
•
RF measurements should be done with a Spectrum Analyzer with a
high impedance probe. (Note Signal levels can vary depending on
measurement setup, therefore it is recommended that a known good
phone is used as a benchmark for the measurement technique used.
Measurements stated in this section were done with a HP85024 high
impedance probe.).
•
Note that the test jigs have some losses which must be taken into con-
sideration when calibrating the test system.
