9. Appendix B Model 2530 1GHz Calibrator
9.1 Description
The Model 2530 operates as an accessory of the Boonton 4530 or 4540 Series RF Power Meters to provide calibration and
test signals at an output frequency of 1.024 GHz. The Model 2530 is controlled by the power meter through its manual and
remote programming systems. It appears in the menus for calibration and test signal output and GPIB commands are defined
for it. The 4540 series power meter equipped with the Model 2530 has two complete calibration and signal sources available.
The 1.024 GHz calibrator is useful for sensors that cannot be calibrated at 50 MHz because of a higher low-frequency cutoff.
It is also closer to commonly used frequencies for Telecom applications. A built-in pulse generator and modulator capability
provides a highly useful test signal.
Although controlled by the power meter, the Model 2530 contains an independent AC power supply. In normal use, the
calibrator circuits are continuously powered in standby mode for optimum thermal stability.
