Power Meas Tabsheet
The Power Meas tabsheet (Fig. 3) contains the simulated measurement results for load-related powers as obtained by using either ideal or non-ideal couplers. The displayed measurement uncertainties are solely due to the finite directivity of the couplers. Both couplers in consideration (one for sensing the incident power, one for the reflected power) are assumed to be identical; their parameters are defined in the Measurement Couplers group box.
True Value
The values displayed in the True Value column are copies of those shown in the Actual Value column of the Transmission page. They would be measured if the couplers were ideal.
Min Meas, Max Meas
The values displayed in the Min Meas and Max Meas columns show the measurement uncertainty limits of a given quantity arising from a finite directivity of the couplers.
Min Error, Max Error
The values displayed in the Min Error, Max Error columns are bounds on the measurement errors, i.e., the deviations of Min Meas and Max Meas from True Value.
The values can be displayed in power units, as percentage, or in dB. To change the format, click a radio button in the Error Unit radio-box.
