I. GC730 SERIES POWER SENSORS

The GC730 Series power sensors consist of Terminating or Directional power sensors types that

can be used for any power measurement application.

The GC730 power sensors are portable for field applications and can interface with a PC or any

GenComm’s instrument.

The Directional Power Sensors (GC731A, GC733A) are used to measure forward power and

reflected power without having any service disturbance. Typical applications are for installation,

maintenance, and monitoring of transmitters with antenna in wireless base station.

The Terminating Power Sensor (GC732A) is used to measure power for installation, and

maintenance of base station in wireless and RF generators or repeaters.

While conventional power sensors can be used in conjunction with additional power meters, The

GC730 power sensors are small and lightweight making the optimal portable solutions for field

applications, together with the benefit of communicating with a PC or a GenComm's instrument.

II. GC730 SERIES POWER SENSORS HIGHLIGHTS

Optimal Power Testing

The GC730 power sensors offer the optimal power testing solutions since it performs the power

measurement without the need of additional test instruments, using a PC to present measurement

results.

Field Test Solution

The GC730 power sensors are the ideal field test solutions due to its compact size, lightweight

and ability to operate with a laptop computer in standalone mode or with GenComm’s field

instruments. Making the GC730 power sensors the optimal solutions for installation and

maintenance of modern wireless and RF base stations.

No Zeroing Calibration

The GC730 power sensors are not required to get disconnected or to power it down for zeroing

calibration. The power sensors do not need any additional calibration beyond the factory’s

calibration which ensures measurement accuracy.

Measurement Methodologies

The GC730 power sensors have two different measurement methodologies, terminating for out-

of-service applications and directional for in-service applications.

III. DIRECTIONAL POWER SENSORS GC731A, GC733A

Directional power sensors are connected between the transmitter and the transmission line

measuring the following power metrics without any service disturbance ideal for in-field monitoring

and maintenance of wireless bases station.

Average Power

Peak Power

VSWR

Average Power (RMS Value)

This power metric provides an average power value for modulated, non-modulated or multi-

carriers signals.

CH

INTRODUCTION 1-4

Chapter 1

Peak Power (Peak Envelope Power)

This power metric provides peak power values of the modulated envelope, indicating the

maximum signal’s power.

VSWR or Return Loss

This power metric provides forward and reverse average power ratios for matching characteristics

of loads. This metric is presented as VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) or Return Loss.

IV. TERMINATING POWER SENSOR GC732A

This power sensor measures the true RMS power from -30dBm to +20dBm in a terminating mode,

where all the power is absorbed by the power sensor.

This is a typical power measurement methodology for out-of-service applications including

engineering, laboratory, and manufacturing, as well as installation and maintenance.

I. POWER METER INTRODUCTION

The GC730 power sensors are small and lightweight making the optimal portable solutions for

field applications, together with the benefit of being powered via GenComm’s instruments. The

GC730 series supports following GenComm’s instruments.

GC7105A Base Station Analyzer

GC7106A RF Analyzer

GC723A Cable and Antenna Analyzer

GC724B Cable and Antenna Analyzer

GC725A Cable and Antenna Analyzer

In this example, the GC725A Cable and Antenna Analyzer is used.

II. CONNECTING SENSORS

Selecting the Power Meter function after powering up the instrument will display the Power Meter

measurement screen with the message that “NO SENSOR” is connected. Connect a power

sensor to the RS-232C or USB port of the instrument using the provided cable as shown in the

following figure. Do not connect a power sensor directly to the LPA or HPA.

After connecting a power sensor, select the Initialize screen menu key for the instrument to

recognize the sensor. After successful recognition of the power sensor, the sensor type is

displayed on the screen as shown in the following figure.

No sensor type is displayed on the screen if the instrument is not able to recognize a sensor type

during the initialization process.

III. MAKING POWER MEASUREMENT

After the power sensor connection and initialization, connect the power sensor to the output port.

Do not connect the Terminating type of power sensor directly to the output of the HPA. The

power sensor will be damaged if it receives a power level greater than +20dBm.

Setting Power Meter All the keys used to set the power measurement are displayed as screen menu keys. No hard

keys on the front panel are used. The following is a description of the screen menu and its
