5. Connect the pow
er splitter to the adapter o n the Tektronix FCA3100 or
MCA3000 Series instrument.
NOTE. If the specifi ed adapter is not available, it is important that the splitter
port attached to the Tektronix FCA3100/MCA3000 S eries instrument has no
adapters attached. The goal is to have the minimum possible load on that port
of the splitter for the first measurement. Load capacitance should be minimized.
Adapters pr
esent an unterminated stub.
NOTE. The length between the Type N port and the splitter must be minimized.
Any cable length between the splitter and the Tektronix FCA3100/MCA3000 Series
instrume
nt is likely to cause unexpected errors during the second me asurement.
6. Enter the relative power measured by the power meter, with the splitter
connect
ed to the Tektronix FCA3100/MCA3000, in the Test Report:
FCA3003, FCA3103, MCA3040: Between -5.61 dB (.524) and -1.84 dB
(.809)
to assure a VSWR of 2 .5.
FCA3020, FCA3120, MCA3027: Between -5.09 dB (.556) and -2.19 dB
(.777
