Change the Unit from the reference level

Post by tha-paul »

Hello,

how can I change the unit from the reference level? Actually there is dBµV selected, but I want to have dBm.
I have no correction files (with dbµV) in the test equipment selected.

thanks in advance

hi,

I do have some additional questions to give you a better answer:
- what type of measurement do you want to perform?
- what is the measurement setup that you are using?
- are you using multiband radiated emission?

Thanks in advance,
John

Hi John,

- I want to measure a WLAN signal.
- I have a wlan antenna connected to a signal generator(RF output: 2,4Ghz, 10dBm)
- Yes I'm using the multiband mode

thank you!

hi steffen,

In the multiband tsf it is best to select 'antenna port and harmonics' as the 'location type'. A better name for the 'location type' is 'measurement type', which explains better the purpose of the setting.

When you select 'antenna port' the final measurement result will be expressed in power units. the desired power unit (like: 'dBm') can be selected by selecting the correct 'power' unit.

I hope that this solves your question.

Best regards,
John

Hi John,

Thanks a lot!!
You're right, maybe "location type" is not the best name for this option :-)
