Connecting the Hardware for PAE Measurements

Complete the following steps to set up your hardware to perform PAE measurements.

Refer to the hardware requirements listed in System Requirements. Ensure all modules are installed in the chassis before completing the following steps.
  1. Connect the HI port of the SMU to the VDC port of the DUT.
  2. Connect the LO port of the SMU to the GND port of the DUT.
  3. Connect the RF OUT (or IF IN/OUT 0) port of the vector signal transceiver (VST) to the RF IN port of the DUT using an SMA cable.
  4. Connect the RF IN (or IF IN/OUT 1) port of the VST to the RF OUT port of the DUT using an SMA cable.
