3. Basic Operation
SPM-50A RF Spectrum Power Meter works in three modes:
1. Single Normal: Forward Power, Reflected Power, Return Loss, VSWR, Peak
Power, Crest, CCDF.
2. Single Burst: Burst, Burst Peak, Duty Cycle.
3. Segment Sweep: Forward Power, Frequency (Frequency of max forward
power), Mark (Input frequency to get corresponding power).
User need set measurement mode and frequency before test. If the signal to be
tested is modulated, sample rate is also to be set. When testing CCDF, user need to
set CCDF threshold. In segment sweep mode, user need set frequency range.
Typical operation guide:
3.1 Test Mode Selection
ShinewayTech RF Spectrum Power Meter PC software User Manual
Shineway Technologies, Inc. - 12 -
Single Normal
In “Measure Set”, select “Single”, click “Normal / Burst Mode” to select Single Normal
mode.
Single Burst
In “Measure Set”, select “Single”, click “Normal / Burst Mode” to select Single Burst
mode.
Segment Sweep
In “Measure Set”, set frequency range.
There are two ways to enter “Measurement Set”: Click “Measure Set” on Tool Bar or
select “Measure Set” from “Settings” Menu.
Frequency Setting
User need set frequency before test:
Measurement Settings
User can select Single or Segment Sweep mode, when in Single mode, user can
ShinewayTech RF Spectrum Power Meter PC software User Manual
Shineway Technologies, Inc. - 13 -
toggle between Single Normal and Single Burst by clicking “Normal / Burst Mode”
button on Tool Bar.
In Single Normal and Single Burst modes, user can manually set frequency
(400MHz~4000MHz) or select preset frequency ranges (Major mobile bands).
In Segment Sweep mode, user can manually set frequency range (Minimum
Difference from start frequency and stop frequency is 5MHz) or select preset
frequency ranges.
3.2 Sample Rate
User need set appropriate sample rate before testing modulated signals in “Measure
Set” menu. Available sample rates are: 5K, 30K and 300K. Higher frequency of the
modulated signal, higher sample rate.
3.3 CCDF Threshold
User need set CCDF threshold before CCDF test in “Measure Set” menu, the
threshold range is: 17dBm—57dBm.
3.4 Measure Time
Default test interval is 2 seconds and total time is 86400 seconds.
3.5 Unit
User can choose dBm or W/mW as power unit in “Measure Set” menu.
3.6 Power Limit
Click “Settings” menu to select “Power Limit”. When certain test item e.g. Forward
Power is over limit range, the power data will be displayed in red color.

4. Test Operation
After finishing test setup, user can start test in three supported modes: Single
Normal, Single Burst, and Segment Sweep.
4.1. Single Normal
Single Normal mode is to test continuous signal including continuous modulated
signals. Test items include: Forward Power, Reflected Power, Return Loss, VSWR,
Peak Power, Crest and CCDF.
4.2. Single Burst Mode
Single Burst mode tests the power, peak power and duty cycle of burst signal.
Set frequency and sample rate before test.
4.3. Segment Sweep Mode
Segment Sweep mode tests the frequency carried by the line.
Set frequency range before test.
4.4. Result
Click “Run” button on Tool Bar to start test.
Test result is displayed in three ways:
1. Result list in information area.
2. Indicating dial shows forward power or burst power.
3. Histogram shows historical test result of selected item or frequency sweeping
result.
Over-range test result will be displayed in red color.
In Single Normal or Single Burst mode, test will automatically stop at 86400 second
from start.
