Frequency

In this application a swept frequency signal is applied to the input of the Device Under Test. The power meter measures the output power. The limits have been set at +4 dBm and +10 dBm. A fail occurs each time the output power is outside these limits as shown in Figure 2-8.

Checking for Limit Failures

Limit failures are displayed in the appropriate field in the measurement window on the power meter’s display as shown in Figure 2-9.
