2.Apply the appropriate Cal factor to the reference sensor per the manufacturer’s procedure.

3.Apply the appropriate Cal factor to the MA24106A as follows:

Click the Frequency button on the Power Meter application, and then enter the frequency of the measurement in GHz.

4.Turn Off the synthesizer’s RF output and perform a low-level Zero of both the Reference sensor and the MA24106A.

5.Turn On the synthesizer’s RF output.

6.Record data for the first 20 dB range as follows:

a.Record the power reading by the reference meter in the appropriate space in Table 5-4.

b.Record the power reading by the MA24106A in the appropriate space in Table 5-4.

c.Set the synthesizer power to +15 dBm.

d.Record the reference meter and the MA24106A power sensor readings in the appropriate places in Table 5-4.

e.Repeat the measurement for synthesizer output levels of +10, +5, and 0 dBm.

Note: The MA24106A power measured at 0 dBm will be used in step 7e, below.
