RF In/Out
This field is used to indicate losses or gains between the RF IN/OUT
port and the device-under-test.
• Enter a positive value to indicate a gain (such as an amplifier gain).
When the RF IN/OUT port is used as an output, the RF generator’s
(or tracking generator’s) level is automatically set the specified
amount below what is indicated in the RF generator’s Amplitude
field. Example; if this value is 10 dB, and the Amplitude field shows
0 dBm, the actual level out of this port is −10 dBm.
When this port is used as an input, the TX Power measurement and
spectrum analyzer’s marker level (Lvl) are automatically reduced by
that amount.
• Enter a negative value to indicate a loss (such as cable loss). The RF
generator’s (or tracking generator’s) level out this port is
automatically set that amount above what is indicated in the RF
generator’s Amplitude field.
When used as an input, the TX Power and the spectrum analyzer’s
marker level (Lvl) measurements are increased by that amount.
This field is only used when the RF Level Offset field is set to On
.
See the "RF Level Offset" field on page 178 for more information.
