High-frequency power measurements

Keysight waveguide power sensors provide precise and reliable millimeter-wave measurements, covering a broad frequency range. Designed specifically for high-frequency applications, these sensors deliver accurate power readings with minimal signal degradation, ensuring the integrity of measurements in waveguide systems. By minimizing mismatch uncertainty and reflection loss, the sensors offer superior impedance matching. Additionally, the sensors feature a 50 MHz calibration port, reducing measurement uncertainties and ensuring traceability.

Wide frequency coverage

Measures power levels accurately across a broad frequency range, enabling millimeter-wave frequency applications.

Low insertion loss

Ensures minimal signal degradation, maintaining the integrity of the measured signal through low insertion loss.

Minimized mismatch

Reduces mismatch uncertainty and reflection loss, ensuring better impedance matching and more accurate power readings in waveguide systems.

50 MHz calibration port

Features a calibration port to reduce measurement uncertainties and ensure accurate calibration and traceability to national standards.

Highlights

Wide frequency range from 26.5 to 40 GHz

  • Wide dynamic range from -35 to +20 dBm
  • EEPROM to store cal factors eliminates manual entry
  • Power linearity of less than 1%, excellent SWR of mismatch uncertainty, and highly accurate power repeatability
  • Accurate calibration and traceability to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
  • SCPI codes compatible with 8480 series (option CFT)
  • Note: Option CFT is available to replace legacy 8480 Series power sensors intended for cal factor manual entry and SCPI compatibility. Option CFT is not compatible with 43x and other obsolete power meters.
  • SCPI codes compatible with E-Series sensor (standard option)
  • Compatible with EPM (N1913/14B, N1913/14A & E4418/19B), EPM-P (E4416/17A), P-Series (N1911/12A & N8262A) power meters
  • Note: All N8480 series power sensors are incompatible with the Keysight 43x, E1416A, 5314x microwave counters, and E7495x base station test sets.
