Multicarrier Channel Power Measurement
The Multicarrier Channel Power (MCCP) measurement is similar to the Channel Power measurement (refer to
Channel Power Measurement on page 5-31). It shows the total power from a transmitter, but the measurement
is more accurate than a power meter as it is frequency selective and can be made on lower amplitude signals.
The Multicarrier Channel Power measurement is similar in this regard, only it is capable of measuring up to
12 carriers at the same time, along with measuring the adjacent channel and two alternate channel powers.
Below is an example display measuring four carriers as well as the upper and lower adjacent and upper and
lower alternate channels.
