Channel Power Measurement
One of the most common measurements for a transmitter is that of channel power. This test
measures the output power, or channel power, of a transmitter over a frequency range and a
specific time interval. Channel Power measurements are used to validate transmitter perfor-
mance, verify compliance with FCC regulations, and keep overall system interference at a
minimum.

Out-of-specification power measurements indicate system faults in the power amplifier or
in-filter circuits.

Channel Power Measurement with the Site Master
The Site Master can be used to measure CDMA signals in terms of channel power. It is nec-
essary to use precise and specific settings to accurately measure the CDMA signal because
the CDMA is different from CW signals.
