NOTE:

The combined measurements of an open, a short, and a known-impedance load normalizes the measurement system to account for uncertainties intro- duced by measurement-system components (e.g., cables, connectors, etc.).

￿ CONNECT LOADS TO RF Out PORT and RF In PORT, Press ENTER.

 

The Site Master then measures the isolation between the RF Out port and the

 

RF In port, or between the test port cables attached to the RF Out and RF In

 

ports.

 

￿ CONNECT RF Out PORT to RF In PORT, Press ENTER.

 

The Site Master then measures the through path between the RF Out port and

 

the RF In port, or between the ends of the test port cables connected to the

 

ports.

SWEEP

Displays the Sweep function soft key menu for the current operating mode.

SYS

Displays the System menu softkey selections.
