Hi,
here are some simple terms need to be described,
1) Power Sweep
2) AmOffset
3) AmGain
thx. ps I'm new beginner in RF field.

Power sweep refers to a network analyzer sweep mode where the frequency is fixed (called CW frequency, for Continous Wave), and the amplitude of the RF drive signal (the RF source power) is swept while monitioring parameters of the DUT, most commonly S21 or gain. This is the sweep mode often used to determine the 1 dB gain compression point of a DUT at a particular frequency.
I don't think these are so common, but I would guess AM gain might be the gain from a low frequency AM input to the source leveling loop, which describes dB of RF power change for a volt of AM input, and AM offset is ...maybe the change in fixed power...
Where did you find these terms (which instrument or reference)?
