High (37–46 dBm) Output Power
Press this submenu key to set the output power level within the higher range for both carrier frequencies, F1 and F2.
Low (25–37 dBm) Output Power
Press this submenu key to set the output power level within the lower range for both carrier frequencies, F1 and F2.
Note: Power output value from the test port is twice the set output value. For example, when Setup > Output Power is set to 20 W, total output power is 40 W.
20 W (F1) + 20 W (F2) = 40 W
