General Information
The Series 8650B Universal Power Meters are digital-controlled, self-calibrating instruments that can measure
RF and microwave signal power over a wide range of frequencies and levels in a variety of measurement modes.
They can be operated locally from the front panel or remotely over the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB),
Universal Serial Bus (USB), or Local Area Network (LAN). See Section 1.3 for performance specifications. The
8650B is available as the single-channel Model 8651B or the dual-channel Model 8652B, which can
simultaneously measure and display signal data for two channels.
The 8650B and the Series 806XXA or Series 807XXA power sensors offer enhanced performance in the
measurement of complex modulation signals in the communication industry. The 8650B maintains the
functionality of Giga-tronics 8650A, 8540B, and 8540C power meters and compatibility with all existing power
sensor models.
NOTE:
The optional 1 GHz Calibrator is required for operation with Series 807XXA and Series 813XXA
Power Sensors (See Option 12 in Appendix C).
