Swept Gain

	Measurement Description
	This test measures the gain of a device by sweeping it over the specified
	frequency range. Gain is the ratio of the output power to the input
	power. For the swept gain test, gain is measured in dB. The gain is the
	output power in dBm minus the input power in dBm. For example, if
	the amplifier has an output of 22 dBm and an input of 4 dBm, it has a
	gain of 18 dB.
	Making the Measurement
	This test radiates a test signal when testing antennas or cables with
NOTE
	antennas attached to them. Verify that the level and frequency span
	used for the test cannot result in interference to other nearby antennas.
	To minimize interference when running the program, set the power
	level at the DUPLEX OUT port to the minimum value needed for good
	measurement resolution. Set the frequency range carefully.
	1. Select Swept Gain from the Select Test (Main) Menu. The Swept
	Gain Measurement menu will appear.
