1.These performance limits are determined by the zero set specification of the power sensor used in the measurement plus the measurement noise.

Note

The nominal outputs for the 3 ∝W, 30 ∝W, 300 ∝W, 3 mW, 10 mW,

 

30 mW and, 100 mW settings are 3.16 ∝W, 31.6 ∝W, 316 ∝W,

 

3.156 mW, 10.03 mW, 31.78 mW, and 101.3 mW respectively.

 

 

 

 

Note

It is not necessary to check instrument accuracy in dBm. The

 

power meter uses the same internal circuitry to measure power

 

and mathematically converts watts to dBm.
