Option Verification 5-3 System Dynamic Range Verification, Option 21
MT8212E and MT8213E MM PN: 10580-00255 Rev. J 5-5
5-3 System Dynamic Range Verification, Option 21
The following test can be used to verify the system dynamic range, when using Option 21, 2 Port Transmission
Measurement Mode.
Equipment Required
• Termination, Anritsu Model 28N50-2
• Termination, Anritsu Model 28NF50-2
• RF Coaxial Cable, Anritsu Model 15NN50-1.5C
Procedure
1. Verify that the MT821xE is in Transmission Measurement mode and preset the instrument.
2. Press the Shift key, then press the Sweep (3) key.
3. Verify that High Dynamic Range is set to On
4. Verify that the Output Power is set to High.
5. Press the Measure main menu key.
6. Press the Start Cal submenu key and follow the on-screen instructions to perform calibration.
7. After the calibration is complete, disconnect one end of the cable and connect loads so that both the
RF Out (Reflection In) and RF In ports are terminated.
8. Press the Sweep/Setup main menu key, and press the Averaging submenu key. Confirm that
Averaging Off is selected, indicated by the red dot in the top right-hand corner.
9. Press the Amplitude main menu key and set the Top to –50 dB and Scale to 10 dB/div.
10. For MT8212E Cell Masters, verify that the trace is below –80 dB for the entire frequency band (2MHz to
4GHz). Record the peak value in Table A-19, “VNA System Dynamic Range Verification” on page A-15.
11. For MT8213 Cell Masters, verify that the trace is below –80 dB from 2 MHz to 4 GHz, and verify that the
trace is below –70 dB from 4 GHz to 6 GHz. Record the peak value for each of the two segments in
Table A-19.
