Technical data

1. Set the Desired Output power level to 13 dBm (Power);
2. Change the Attenuation value from 31 to 0 (by step 1); the DAC
gain is automatically set to 5000 central value (to set Attenua-
tion, DAC, and HPA biasing, the ALC command must be used, see
IS-00003-104);
3. Measure the output power level and go to step 4 if the difference
between nominal desired and measured values is less than Re-
quired Rough Accuracy (± 2 dBm), if not repeat step 2;
4. Change the DAC Gain value from 2000 – 9000;
5. Measure the output power level, if the difference between the
nominal desired and measured values is less than Required Accu-
racy (± 0.3 dBm) then store the Measured Detector value in the
ALC Table using “Apply” button and go to step 6, if not repeat
step 4.
6. Increase the output power level by 1 dB and go back to step 2.
The test is completed if the ALC Table is filled for all output power
levels from 13 to 33 dBm. The Measured Power Detector values are
stored in the unit’s configuration files image to be loaded into the
unit (see section 6.4.2).
To activate the ALC Calibration Tool dialog box:
1. Select a unit name (icon) from the Site View pane.
2. Select the Tools > Factory Configuration > Calibration Kit >
ALC of AWare main menu bar.
6.3.3 RSL C
ALIBRATION TOOL
The RSL Calibration Tool is intended to map the receive signal level
(RSL) to the receive signal strength (RSSI) measured by real time
software and to show the AGC value in dB. The range of RSL is -120
to -60 dBm. The Signal Generator used in calibration must cover the
frequency range covered by the receiver being tested (100 to 470
MHz to cover the frequency range from VHF to UHF).
By opening RSL Calibration Tool dialog, the operator/technician first
Note: The HPA biasing level is explicitly defined by Desired
Output Power level.
