This section provides single tone measurement setup information.

1. TX path enabled mode:

   In TX path enabled mode, RF gain can be measured by connecting a signal generator at TR connector and a power meter at the ANT connector. For an input power of –30dBm, the expected gain is in an approximate range of 22.5dB to 24.5dB. A power sweep from a signal generator can be recorded from –30dBm to 12dBm and output power can be measured with a power meter. The expected output power is in an approximate range of 27dBm to 28dBm for a 12dBm input power. Use of a 20dB attenuator pad at the ANT output is recommended for transmit measurements to protect the power meter or spectrum analyzer. See also Figure 2-1.

2. RX path enabled mode:

   In RX path enabled mode, RF gain can be measured by connecting a signal generator at the ANT connector and a power meter at the TR connector. For an input power of –30dBm, the expected gain is in an approximate range of 15dB to 17dB. A power sweep from a signal generator can be recorded from –30dBm to –10dBm and output power can be measured with a power meter. The expected output power is in an approximate range of 1dBm to 3dBm for a –10dBm input power. See also Figure 2-2.
