This section lists the test equipment needed to run performance tests. Models for each test equipment category are given in order of preference. Alternate models are also listed but should be considered a lower priority. Model numbers are Keysight, Agilent, or HP unless otherwise specified. Refer to each individual test for specific setup configurations with required cables and adapters.

To ensure data integrity for measurements carried out with TME (Test Management Environment), the following verification checks are carried out at the beginning of each test run. The checks are only performed on devices that require calibration data which directly affect the test results.
The following table lists the standard checks performed by default:
|
Failure to comply with the CalFactor(%) or Atten(dB) will result in test data being labeled Invalid in both the TME interface and in any report format produced from the data. |
Device | Parameter Name and Description | Limits | A
Failure Affects: |
Power Sensor |
CalFactor(%)
|
Must be ≥
10% and ≤
150% at all points |
All test runs |
Uncertainty(%)
|
Must be > 0 and ≤ 10% at all points |
Test runs guard banded by measurement uncertainty only |
|
ReflectCoeff(Mag)
|
Must be >
0 and < 0.5 |
Test runs guard banded by measurement uncertainty only |
|
