5.1.7 Earth Ground

5.1.7 Earth Ground

This test measures the leakage current and verifies that each pin on J8 is connected correctly. See Figure 5-3, Item [1].

5.1.8 Sample Port

The RF Sample Port is measured at discrete frequencies across the band and a calibration label is placed near the Type N connector on the bottom of the unit. The sample port is approximately -40 dB from the RF output level. A label with the exact coupling ratio is attached to the amplifier chassis. See Figure 5-3, Item [2].

5.1.9P1dB and Psat

The 1dB Gain Compression Point is measured at discrete frequencies across the band to characterize the output power over the operating frequency range. The P1dB measurement is a guaranteed minimum specification.

As the input power increases, the output power limits to some maximum level. This is defined as the saturated output power or Psat. The Psat specification is a typical value and is not guaranteed. This is due to the variation that exists among microwave power semiconductors. The saturated output power is typically 0.5 dB to 1.0 dB above the P1dB value. See Figure

5-3, Item [3].

5.1.10 I/O Test

This test verifies that the unit has the correct wiring on the MS connectors by testing faults, communications, and redundancy. See Figure 5-3, Item [4].

5.1.11 Ethernet

Tests Ethernet communication, web monitor and control, and assigns a MAC address to the unit.
