Overview of theTest Set’s Built-In Tools

 

Using the RF Tools Program

 

Damage may result if the power input to the Test Set’s ANT IN port

CAUTION

 

exceeds 60 mW (which is equivalent to 18 dBm). Damage may also

 

result to the unit-under-test if it is overdriven by the DUPLEX OUT

 

power level. To avoid damage to the ANT IN port, enter an

 

over-estimate gain value for the Max expected gain in dB parameter.

 

To avoid damage to the unit under test, ensure a low power level for the

 

DUPLEX OUT level in dBm parameter.

 

6. Press k1 (Begin Tst) or position the cursor at Begin and select it.

7.A setup screen appears with a diagram of the necessary connections, similar to Figure 4-13. This is the calibration phase of the test to obtain a reference level for the device being tested. A VSWR bridge or a directional coupler and two 6 dB pads are connected to the Test Set. The pads are used to reduce impedance mismatch errors between the VSWR bridge and the DUPLEX OUT and ANT IN ports on the Test Set. A reference level is measured first with a short on the DUT (Device Under Test) port of the VSWR bridge. An open can be used as well, but the open must not be blocked in any way that might cause the signal to be reflected back. For example, using the open setup inside a van or other enclosed area may introduce inaccuracies in the measurement. Setup the hardware, then press k1 (Proceed) or the knob to continue.

8.Another setup screen appears. Attach the device being tested. Press k1 (Proceed) or the knob to continue.
