(or the next power setting from the performance test record) .
10.Repeat steps 5 through 9 for all power settings listed on the performance test record in
the 3 GHz to 6 GHz range.
11.The marker 1 (maximum) and marker 2 (minimum) readings should be within the

12.This completes the test. If you have problems with this test, go to “In Case of Difficulty,”
next.
In Case of Difficulty
1. Ensure that the power meter and power sensors are operating to specifications. Be sure
to set the power meter calibration factor for the range of frequencies that you are
testing.
2. Verify that there is power coming out of the analyzer's test port 1. Be sure you did not
accidentally switch off the analyzer's internal source. If you did, press
.
3. Repeat this performance test.
