U2000 Series Operating and Service Guide

Introduction

The Agilent U2000 Series USB power sensors are standalone power 
sensors used for measuring the average power of continuous wave (CW) 
and modulated signals in 9 GHz to 24 GHz frequency range and –60 dBm 
to +44 dBm power range. The power sensors provide an easy 
plug- and- play USB connectivity to a PC or laptop, thus eliminating the 
need for a separate conventional power meter. The power sensors also 
compatible with some selected USB- based instruments from Agilent.

The figure below shows the Agilent U2000 Series USB power sensors 
family.
