This test confirms the accuracy of the PNA source output power across the frequency range of the PNA, and verifies the Test Port Output – Power Level Accuracy specification.
In the Normal Variant test plan, a separate test has been created for frequencies above 50 GHz to avoid unnecessary recalibration of the power sensors.
The test is performed at hundreds of CW frequencies across the frequency range of the PNA at the Preset power level. For a list of PNA preset power levels, refer to the PNA datasheet.
For troubleshooting help, see Power Level Accuracy Troubleshooting.
Equipment and connection setups will differ depending on the test plan variant selected: Factory Recommended Variant or Normal Variant. For more information about test plan variants, refer to Test Plan Variants topic.
