Performance Tests
2. Source Power Range, Linearity, and Accuracy
23.With the power offset value listed in the performance test record, calculate the source
power level linearity using this formula:
Power Linearity = [Power Offset] + [Measured Value]
24.Write the result of your calculation on the performance test record.
25.Repeat steps 21 through 24 for the other power levels listed on the performance test
record.
For Analyzers with Option 006
26.Press .
27.Repeat steps 21 through 24 for the other power levels listed on the performance test
record.
Power Level Accuracy
28.Press .
29.Press . Set the power meter calibration factor for
this CW frequency.
30.On the performance test record, copy the “Path Loss” value, previously calculated for
this CW frequency, into the “Path Loss” column.
31.Calculate the calibrated source power level using this formula:
Calibrated Power Level = 10 − Path Loss
32.Write the result in the “Calibrated Power Level” column.
33.Set the power meter for absolute power measurement.
34.Write the power meter reading under the “Measured Value” column on the performance
test record.
35.Calculate the power level accuracy using this formula:
Calibrated Power Level − Measured Value = Power level Accuracy
36.Write this value on the performance test record.
37.Repeat steps 29 through 35 for the other CW frequencies listed on the performance test
record.
