Measuring Channel Power
Channel Power measures the power and power spectral 
density in the specified channel bandwidth. A white frame 
on the display indicates the edge limits of the channel 
bandwidth. The user must specify the center frequency, 
reference level, and channel bandwidth to be used for the 
measurement.
The power calculation method used to determine the channel 
power is a traditional method known as the integration 
bandwidth (IBW) method. A swept spectrum is used as the 
basis for this calculation. Therefore, it is important to set 
the resolution bandwidth correctly before making this 
measurement using the following formula:
Please refer to the procedures below to set a channal power 
measurement.
