Operation Verification
Checking the Output Power
N5162A1/82A Test Procedure
Test Setup
1.Zero and calibrate the power sensor to the power meter:
2. Connect the equipment as shown below:
3.Preset the signal generator: Press Preset.
4.Turn RF on: Press RF On/Off so that the RF On/Off LED lights.
5.Turn modulation off:
Press Mod On/Off so that the Mod On/Off LED turns off.
Without Modulation
6.Set the signal generator frequency to the first value listed in Table 3- 6:
Press Frequency > 125 > MHz.
1.For the N5161A/62A these softkey menus and features are only available through the
Web- Enabled MXG or through SCPI commands. Refer to the Programming Guide or to the SCPI Command Reference.
7.Set the amplitude to 7 dBm: Press Amplitude > 7 > dBm.
8.Configure the power meter as follows:
a.On the power meter, press the
Frequency Cal Fac button.
b.If applicable, select a power meter channel.
c.Use the arrow keys to enter the frequency at which to measure the power.
9.Measure the output power level.
10.Repeat steps 6 through 9 for the remaining frequencies in the table, and confirm that the power level at each point is within limits.
