How do I make measurements on low level over-the-air CDMA signals using the E7495A/B Wireless Base Station Test Set?
E7495A/B Options 810, 811, and 812 include a pre-selector filter that attenuates out-of-band signals. This reduces the overall signal input into the E7495A/B and allows the built in auto-ranging circuit to increase the IF gain.

|
What is the maximum input power that can safely be applied to input of the E7495A/B Wireless Base Station Test Set?
The maximum input level to the RF Input is +20 dBm. The maximum RF Input when using the supplied external 40 dB attenuator is +50 dBm. The E7495A/B additionally has a forward power protection switch at the RF Input connection to help prevent dam...

FAQ 2012-02-27 |
|
|
Why does the N5530S Measuring Receiver require Option 123 (Preselector Bypass) above 3 GHz?
Preselector drift introduces errors to the amplitude measurements.
FAQ 2012-02-27 |
|
|
What is the frequency range of the N5532A Sensor Module?
100 kHz to 4.2 GHz, 10 MHz to 18 GHz, 30 MHz to 26.5 GHz, and 30 MHz to 50 GHz.
FAQ 2012-02-26 |
|
|
Does the N5530S Measuring Receiver require a system calibration to meet specifications?
The N5530S does not require a system calibration. Its specifications are based upon the power meter and PSA performance.

On the ENA / ENA-L, the "Update Firmware" key is not displayed under the Service menu. What is wrong?
FAQ 2011-10-07 |
|
|
Under the unit function’s ACV and DCV, the display rate of U1271/2A indicates 7 times per second, can GUI DATA LOGGER capture all 7 readings?
No, the GUI DATA LOGGER is running on different acquisition method than the unit’s display rate, therefore the fastest update rate is 1 sample per second.

|
|
Why does the 42841A shut down with an error message display on the E4980A/ 4284A when DC bias current exceeds a certain level?
The 42841A cannot output DC bias current in excess of a level determined from the DC resistance of DUT and the maximum limit of DC output voltage.
