5 Using E9300 E-Series Power Sensors

CDMA Signal Measurements
Figure 5- 117 and Figure 5- 118 show typical results obtained when
measuring a CDMA signal. In these examples, the error is determined by
measuring the source at the amplitude of interest, with and without
CDMA modulation, adding attenuation until the difference between the
two values stops changing. The CW sensor in Figure 5- 117 uses correction
factors to correct for power levels beyond its square law operating region.
