2 Testing Performance
• 1 GHz Models: 1 GHz
• 500 MHz Models: 500 MHz
• 350 MHz Models: 350 MHz
• 100 MHz Models: 100 MHz
10 Referencing the frequency from step 9, set the power meter 
Cal Factor % to the frequency value on the calibration chart 
on the power sensor. 
11 Set the oscilloscope sweep speed according to the following:
• 1 GHz Models: 500 ps/div
• 500 MHz Models: 1 ns/div
• 350 MHz Models: 2 ns/div
• 100 MHz Models: 5 ns/div
12 Note the oscilloscope Std Dev(1) reading at the bottom of the 
screen.
13 Note the reading on the power meter and covert to Vrms 
using the expression:
14 Calculate the response using the expression:
Example If:
Pmeas
1_MHz
 = 892 uW
Std Dev(n) 
1MHz
 = 210.4 mV
Pmeas 
max_freq
 = 687 uW
Std Dev(n) 
max freq
 = 161.6 mV
Then after converting the values from the power meter to Vrms:
V
in 
max_freq
Ω×= 50
max freq
Pmeas
 response(dB) = 20 log

mV 211.2mV/ 210.4
mV 185.3 / mV 161.6
= -1.16 dB
