E-Series CW Power Sensor Specifications (Continued)
Calibration factor (CF) and
reflection coefficient (Rho)
Calibration factor and reflection
coefficient data are provided at 1 GHz
increments on a data sheet included with
the power sensor� This data is unique
to each sensor� If you have more than
one sensor, match the serial number on
the data sheet with the serial number
on the power sensor you are using� The
CF corrects for the frequency response
of the sensor� The EPM power meter
automatically reads the CF data stored
in the sensor and uses it to make the
corrections�
Reflection coefficient (Rho) relates to the
SWR according to the following formula:
SWR = 1 + Rho/1 – Rho�
Maximum uncertainties of the CF data are
listed in Table 5a, for the E4412A power
sensor, and Table 5b for the E4413A power
sensor� The uncertainty analysis for the
calibration of the sensors was done in
accordance with the ISO/TAG4 Guide�
The uncertainty data reported on the
calibration certificate is the expanded
uncertainty with a 95% confidence level
and a coverage factor of 2�
