External Level Correction
External level correction measures output power over frequency and level and stores the correction
values inside the instrument to maintain level accuracy. The R&S SMB provides a build in measuring
procedure for external level correction.
NOTICE
R
isk of damage to the power sensor
Power sensor NRP-Z91 can be damaged when being exposed to R&S SMBs
maximum output power. So it is recommendet to PRESET the instrument
before connecting the power sensor. The build-in level correction procedure
does not overload the sensor.
