Power Menu (Combo model)
The RF Explorer Signal Generator Combo model is able to specify output power signal with 0.25dB
resolution.
Values are selectable from -60 dBm to +15 dBm, but only -40 dBm to +10 dBm are calibrated as per
description in section below. A future firmware upgrade will show calibration information more explicitly.
 CW Power: Power level used for Generator CW mode and Frequency Sweep mode.
 Start Power: Lower power level for Amplitude Sweep
 Stop Power: Higher power level for Amplitude Sweep
 Power Step: Selected step in dB
 Total Steps: number of steps used in Amplitude Sweep, automatically calculated based on
Total Steps: (Start – Stop) / Step
power settings. As an example, on picture above, the Power step is defined as 5dB, and being Start-
Stop = -30 – 5 = -35, therefore 7 steps are automatically calculated.
Power Levels (Combo model)
The RF Explorer Signal Generator Combo model delivers output power signal in the nominal range -60 to
+15dBm. The range is calibrated by bench laboratory grade instruments, sampling 600 measurement points,
and is suitable in the range -40 to +10dBm. Output signals outside this range will not perform with the same
linearity and accuracy as within the calibrated range.
