Frequency Range and Maximum Power Levels
CAUTION It is recommend that you do not operate components near damage levels
(+30 dBm). The power levels must be 3 dB below maximum level to ensure no
damage. See Table 7.
NOTE Refer to your PNA specifications to determine the maximum input power
levels for the PNA access and test ports, or to optimize the power levels in the
receivers.
NOTE Damage and maximum levels are not necessarily the optimum level.
