power meter. Suitable and compatible power meters are the EPM series power
meters (E4418B and E4419B), the EPM-P series power meters (E4416A and
E4417A) and the E1416A VXI power meter. Discontinued and obsolete power
meters that are compatible with the 8480 series sensors include the E4418A,
E4419A, 435B, 436A, 437B, 438A and 70100A MMS power meter.
The 8480 series power sensors place a 50 ohm load on the RF or microwave
source, except the 8483A which has a 75 ohm load. The power meter indicates
the power dissipated in this load in mW or dBm.
The coaxial power sensors in the 8480 series measure power levels from -70 dBm
to +44 dBm (100 pW to 25 W), at frequencies from 100 kHz to 50 GHz. To cover
this wide dynamic power range, both thermocouple and diode power sensing
elements are used. Both types of power sensing elements have a maximum 50 dB
dynamic range. Thermocouple sensors have a square-law region from -30 dBm to
+20 dBm, and with an attenuator can operate up to +44 dBm. There are three
model types of thermocouple sensors in the 8480 series, covering the complete
-30 dBm to +44 dBm range.
– The A-models cover -30 dBm to +20 dBm.
– The H-models cover from -10 dBm to +35 dBm.
– The B-models cover from 0 dBm to +44 dBm.
Diode detectors (D-models) have the best sensitivity, having an operating range
from -70 dBm to -20 dBm.
Calibration factor (CAL FACTOR) data is provided on a label attached to the power
sensor's cover. Maximum uncertainties of the CAL FACTOR data are listed in the
Specifications section in page 23. This calibration factor is used to adjust the
power meter to suit the particular power sensor and frequency being measured.
NOTE
For the B-models in the 8480 series, calibration factor data is valid only when
the sensor is used with the supplied attenuator.
