an approximate source power (at the Scorpion Port 1, Port 3, or both).
For tests involving power sweep, the MS7840A enables a linear power
calibration over the desired power range (and the frequency range). For
this calibration, the user can specify his target power start and stop val-
ues and a nominal power offset between this reference plane and the
Scorpion source (the net of preamplifier gain minus test setup losses).
