Attenuation / Gain System Calibration

Before RadiMation^® can start to determine the attenuation or gain of a system, the system need to be calibrated. Because this type of test considered to be a calibration all eut windows must be closed.

    Calibration

       System Calibration

          Attenuation / Gain

Frequency Range

Sets the frequency specification to a frequency range.

Start

Sets start frequency.

End	Sets end frequency.

Step Fixed

Sets a fixed step size from start to end frequency.

Step Previous Frequency

Sets a logarithmic step size from start to stop frequency

Starting From

Sets the start frequency for a logarithmic step from which the actual measurement frequencies will be calculated. The starting from frequency should be lower than the actual start frequency. The test will start at the first calculated frequency that is equal to or higher than the specified start frequency.

Frequency list

With frequency list the operator can select a frequency list file by browsing to the file location. The frequencies inside the frequency list file will be measured.

Signal Power

Signal power

The setting of the signal power level during the test.

Power Meter

Amount of samples

The amount of samples level during the test.

Test equipment

In the test site window the test engineer can select which equipment list will be used during this test.

Test engineer

In the test engineer window, the test engineer can select its own name. The test engineer name will be stored by the test results.

Equipment icon

By clicking on the equipment icon, the equipment list can be viewed and edited.

Buttons on the right hand side

Run Calibration

Start the configured calibration.

Cancel

Cancel the configured calibration.

Note	Display the note window.

Running the test

After the test initialization has been performed and passed the user will be prompt.

Connect the power sensor to the power reference and press ok. The power sensor will now be calibrated using the power reference source to make sure the power sensor is as accurate as possible.

Note:

Not all power sensors have a power reference source, in this case leave the power sensor connected to the calibration set up.

Connect the power sensor to the calibration set up and press ok.

After the calibration has been completed the user will be prompt where the calibration file needs to be saved.

Test set up

Device name	Tab in RadiMation® configuration window
Signal Generator	Standard 1
Power meter Pfwd	Standard 1

Attenuation / Gain Test

Because the determination of gain or attenuation is considered to be a test on an actual EUT, RadiMation^® needs to have an EUT window open before this test can be performed.

    Calibration

       E.U.T. Calibration

          Attenuation / Gain

The only selectable option is the calibration file, when another calibration file is selected the settings of this file will be displayed.

Connect the test set up and press Run Calibration.

Once the actual test has been performed the test result file can be opened in the EUT window.

Buttons on the right hand side

Ok	Close the current window.

Create correction file

Create a correction file based on the test information.

Note	Display the note window.
