Making a Power Measurement using Broadband Detection
CAUTION Damage to your analyzer will occur if the receiver input power exceeds
+26 dBm or ±30 Vdc. The analyzer's source cannot exceed this level.
However, if your DUT has gain, attenuation on the analyzer’s input port
may be necessary. See “Attenuation and Amplification in a Measurement
Setup” on page 3-11.
Perform a Normalization Calibration
Normalization is the simplest type of calibration. The analyzer stores a
measurement trace into memory and divides subsequent measurements
by the stored data to remove unwanted frequency response errors. This
calibration is used for the power measurement to remove the
insertion-loss error of the test cable. Changing the frequency span or
number of measurement points will invalidate a normalization
calibration.
Execute the following steps to perform a normalization calibration:
1. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 3-22
