11 3. Basic Operation SPM-50A RF Spectrum Power Meter works in three modes: 1. Single Normal: Forward Power, Reflected Power, Return Loss, VSWR, Peak Power, Crest, CCDF. 2. Single Burst: Burst, Burst Peak, Duty Cycle. 3. Segment Sweep: Forward Power, Frequency (Frequency of max forward power), Mark (Input frequency to get corresponding power). User need set measurement mode and frequency before test. If the signal to be tested is modulated, sample rate is also to be set. When testing CCDF, user need to set CCDF threshold. In segment sweep mode, user need set frequency range. Typical operation guide: 3.1 Test Mode Selection Shineway Technologies, Inc

12 Single Normal In Measure Set, select Single, click Normal / Burst Mode to select Single Normal mode. Single Burst In Measure Set, select Single, click Normal / Burst Mode to select Single Burst mode. Segment Sweep In Measure Set, set frequency range. There are two ways to enter Measurement Set : Click Measure Set on Tool Bar or select Measure Set from Settings Menu. Frequency Setting User need set frequency before test: Measurement Settings User can select Single or Segment Sweep mode, when in Single mode, user can Shineway Technologies, Inc

13 toggle between Single Normal and Single Burst by clicking Normal / Burst Mode button on Tool Bar. In Single Normal and Single Burst modes, user can manually set frequency (400MHz~4000MHz) or select preset frequency ranges (Major mobile bands). In Segment Sweep mode, user can manually set frequency range (Minimum Difference from start frequency and stop frequency is 5MHz) or select preset frequency ranges. 3.2 Sample Rate User need set appropriate sample rate before testing modulated signals in Measure Set menu. Available sample rates are: 5K, 30K and 300K. Higher frequency of the modulated signal, higher sample rate. 3.3 CCDF Threshold User need set CCDF threshold before CCDF test in Measure Set menu, the threshold range is: 17dBm 57dBm. 3.4 Measure Time Default test interval is 2 seconds and total time is seconds. 3.5 Unit User can choose dbm or W/mW as power unit in Measure Set menu. 3.6 Power Limit Click Settings menu to select Power Limit. When certain test item e.g. Forward Power is over limit range, the power data will be displayed in red color. Shineway Technologies, Inc

14 Power Limit Menu Check Enable Warning to enable Power Limit function. Available power limits in each mode: Single Normal mode: Forward Power, Reflected Power, Return Loss, Peak Power Single Burst mode: Burst, Burst Peak Segment Sweep mode: Forward Power 3.7 User Information User can input: Operator, Sample Type and Sample S/N information and save them to test results. Click Settings menu and select User Information to enter below interface: User Information Shineway Technologies, Inc

16 4. Test Operation After finishing test setup, user can start test in three supported modes: Single Normal, Single Burst, and Segment Sweep Single Normal Single Normal mode is to test continuous signal including continuous modulated signals. Test items include: Forward Power, Reflected Power, Return Loss, VSWR, Peak Power, Crest and CCDF Single Burst Mode Single Burst mode tests the power, peak power and duty cycle of burst signal. Set frequency and sample rate before test Segment Sweep Mode Segment Sweep mode tests the frequency carried by the line Result Set frequency range before test. Click Run button on Tool Bar to start test. Test result is displayed in three ways: 1. Result list in information area. 2. Indicating dial shows forward power or burst power. 3. Histogram shows historical test result of selected item or frequency sweeping result. Over-range test result will be displayed in red color. In Single Normal or Single Burst mode, test will automatically stop at second from start. Shineway Technologies, Inc
