Test Procedure SME
1038.6002.02 5.16 E-13
Measurement À Settings at the SME
- Test frequency
- Level 10 dBm, unmodulated
À Setting at the analyzer
- Test frequency
À Setting at the attenuator
- Attenuation 120 dB.
À Read the level at the analyzer and note down as a reference value.
It should be approx. -110 dBm. Select the measurement bandwidth
small enough to ensure an exact reading.
À Now repeat the measurement with the settings given in the table.
Deviation of the indication at the analyzer from the reference value,
in each case ......................................................................max. 1dB

Measurement of Lowest Levels
Caution: No RF leakage of the components used is the prerequisite for a correct measurement
Test setup
À Insert a low-noise preamplifier between SME and precision
attenuator.
Measurement
À Perform a subsequent calibration with a level already measured
(-30dBm). This allows measuring levels up to the lower setting limit
of the SME.
