Setup: ML248xx Power Meter

The following procedure sets the Anritsu ML248xx power meter to the
voltage measurement mode. This meter is required for testing
MA249xA and MA2411A/B Series power sensors.

The instrument is now displaying sensor voltage in dBV (ignoring
the dBm unit that follows the numerical readout):
dBV = 10 log V, where V is the sensor output voltage.

Procedure: Standard Power Sensors

This procedure applies to the following power sensors:

• MA2400xD Thermal Sensors
• MA247xD Series Standard Diode Power Sensors
• MA244xD Series High Accuracy Power Sensors
• MA246xx Series Fast Sensors (obsolete)
• MA249xA Series Wideband Power Sensors
• MA2411A/B Pulse Power Sensor.

1. Connect the power sensor to the sensor cable and connect the

cable to the power meter.

2. Without connecting the sensor to the signal source, zero the power

meter by pressing the

Cal/Zero

key, then the

Zero

soft key.

3. Set the signal source to 2 GHz and adjust the signal source power

to the specified power in the table below for the sensor to be
tested.

4. Connect the power sensor to the signal source.

Note

When using the Anritsu ML2480 Series Power Meter, press
the Zero Sensor A function key.
