Note
Low-level measurements are made with a Measuring Receiver,
relative to levels previously measured with the Power Sensor and
the Measuring Receiver. Two levels (-37 dBm from the Power
Sensor and -75 dBm from the Measuring Receiver) are used as
reference points to provide the required UUT hardware configuration
for the subsequent tests. The value of the output level at -37 dBm
measured in steps 19 through 27 above and at -75 dBm measured
in steps 30 through 33 below will be used as references in the
following procedure, identified as P
-37
and P
-75
respectively for each
test frequency. It is important that the correct sequence is followed
as described.
