CDMA Signal Measurements
Figure 3- 6 and Figure 3-7 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 3- 6 uses correction factors to
correct for power levels beyond its square law operating region.
