Power Level Accuracy and Flatness Tests
The following tests can be used to verify that the MG3702xA meets its power level specifications. Power level
verifications are divided into four parts:
•
Log conformity
•
Power level accuracy (to –50 dBm)
•
Power level accuracy (–50 dBm to –100 dBm)
•
Power level flatness.
Test Setup
For all power level measurements above –50 dBm, connect the equipment, shown in
, as follows:
1.
Calibrate the power meter with the appropriate power sensor.
2.
Connect the power sensor to the RF Output of the MG3702xA (use a fixed attenuator when measuring
power levels above +19 dBm).
3.
Connect the special
AUX I/O
interface cable (Anritsu PN: 806-97) to the MG3702xA rear panel
AUX I/O
connector. Connect the cable BNC connectors as follows:
a.
Connect the cable labeled
SEQ SYNC
to the power meter rear panel
INPUT 1 DIGITAL
connector.
b.
Connect the cable labeled
HORIZ OUT
to the power meter rear panel
INPUT 2 ANALOG
connector.
Note
Accurate power level measurements below –100 dBm are not currently feasible.
Note
Before performing this procedure ensure that all test equipment is calibrated. Refer to the
manufacturer’s test equipment manual.
