Level
Level flatness and level accuracy
Measuring equipment - Test receiver (table "Measuring Equipment and Accessories", item 1)
- Power sensor (table "Measuring Equipment and Accessories", item 7)
- Low-noise preamplifier (table "Measuring Equipment and
Accessories", item 8)
Measurement method for levels in the measurement range of the power sensor (-25 dBm to
+23 dBm)
Test setup Test setup 1; connect a power sensor to the RF output connector.

EROING is carried out before level measurements. Use RF OFF when
turning off the level on the R&S SML / R&S SMV03.
Measurement Measure the level at the test frequencies.
The frequency response is the difference between the highest and
the lowest measured value.
The level error is the deviation from the set value.
Measurement method for small levels (-80 dBm to -25 dBm)
Caution: A prerequisite for correct measurement is full RF shielding of the components used.
Measurement principle A line measurement in RF level mode is carried out at an output level
from the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 of – 25 dBm, and measurements are
then carried out this mode down to – 80 dBm.
