2.2.3 

Frequency resolution 

Set the frequency resolution to 1Hz. 

2.3  Power level 

Power level refers to the output power at the port of the vector network analyzer. 

 
Here are the keys to operation: 

 

1.

Power

Power Level

 

parameter item. Input the required power level. Press 

ENTER

 to exit editing mode. The 

default unit is dBm. 
 

2. 

Press 

Power

, use the knob or arrow keys to focus on the 

Power

RF Power

 parameter 

item.    Turn on or off RF power.

 

 

3. 

Press 

Power

, use the knob or arrow keys to focus on the 

Port Power 

parameter item, 

Configure start and stop power. Start and stop power are only available in power sweep 
mode.

 

 

4. 

Press 

Power

, use the knob or arrow keys to focus on the 

Port Power

Select 

parameter item, Press 

ENTER

 or the knob to select the corresponding power port.

 

 

5. 

Press 

Power

, use the knob or arrow keys to focus on the 

Port Power

Coupling 

parameter item, Press 

ENTER

 or the knob to choose to turn coupling off or on.

 

 

6. 

Press

parameter item, Press 

ENTER

 or the Knob to turn on the Slope switch, Press 

Leveling & Offsets

Slope

 to set the Slope.

 

Coupled port power: 

 

 

Coupling (selected): The power level of each test port is the same. If the power of any test         

port is set, the power of all test ports will change accordingly. 
 

 

Decoupling (clearing): Set the power level for each test port separately and decouple the   

Power. For example, if you want to measure the gain and reverse 
isolation of a high gain amplifier, the input port of the amplifier 
requires much less power than the output port. Power sweep can 
also be performed using uncoupled power.
