SETUP

Note: Input of the Fiber link is terminated by 50 ohm load for NF test.
Two signal generators and power combiner are used for OIP3 test.

GAIN

Note: Input cable (Minibend 12 inch) and output cable (Minibend 16 inch) are not calibrated.
New units will be tested using Network Analyzers.
Input Power = -30 dBm

Note: Input cable (Minibend 12 inch) and output cable (Minibend 16 inch) are not calibrated.

SST 11/11
OIP3 - NOTE

OIP3 of the signal analyzer is very high so it does not effect the results.

We have checked the results with the different input attenuation level (10,
20, 30dB) and observed same results.
