4.4.2.4.1 Maximum-Leveled Power
Before testing maximum-leveled power, configure and operate the power meter according to manu-
facturer specifications and allow for the recommended warm-up period.
1. Connect the power sensor to the RF output of the UUT. Set the UUT to the specified frequency
and activate the RF output, as shown in Ilustration 4.3.
2. For each test frequency, increase the output power of the UUT until the unlevel indicator is active.
3. Reduce the output power setting until the unlevel indicator deactivates.
4. Record the measured output power for the test frequency and repeat the test for the remaining
frequencies.
4.4.2.4.2 Level Accuracy
Before testing leveled accuracy, configure and operate the power meter according to manufacturer
specifications and allow for the recommended warm-up period.
1. Use the test setup described in the maximum-leveled power test.
2. Set the output level of the UUT to 0 dBm.
