Multicarrier Channel Power Measurement

The Multicarrier Channel Power (MCCP) measurement is similar to the Channel Power measurement (refer to Channel Power Measurement on page 5-31).It shows the total power from a transmitter, but the measurement is more accurate than a power meter as it is frequency selective and can be made on lower amplitude signals. The Multicarrier Channel Power measurement is similar in this regard, only it is capable of measuring up to 12 carriers at the same time, along with measuring the adjacent channel and two alternate channel powers.

Below is an example display measuring four carriers as well as the upper and lower adjacent and upper and lower alternate channels.
