Description
The power meter accuracy is verified for various power inputs. There are two different methods described here that can be used to perform this test, although one of these methods has a relatively high measurement uncertainty values associated with it.
| Test Procedure 1 |
|
|
Note | The measurement uncertainty of this test procedure is relatively |
| high at power levels of 30uW and below, as it uses a standard |
| 11683A Range Calibrator. As such, this test procedure should be |
| used for indication only. |
