applied to both the power standard and the DUT is what allows the calibration factor of the DUT to be
determined.
Model 1505A Connector Descriptions
Figure 4.2 TEGAM 1505A Connectors
BIAS VOLTAGE/Heater combination connector
A combined connection is used to connect the thermistor element to a DC Substitution bridge circuit and
the heater control circuit as is found in the TEGAM Model 1830A, 1806A, and 1806. The bridge operates
on the principal of DC substitution, so only DC voltages and currents are present at these terminals when
connected. In addition, the TEGAM Model 1805B can be used to heat the 2505A and 1505A with cable CA-
29-48.
RF INPUT connector
Type N male coaxial connector where RF power to be measured is applied.
Connecting RF Power Standards
The TEGAM RF Standards are an element of a system and is not a “stand-alone” instrument. The 2505A
and 1505A RF Power Standard can only be connected to the TEGAM 1830A, 1806A, and 1806. Unlike
other TEGAM RF Power Standards, the bias and temperature are connected through one cable. To do this,
simply connect one end of the appropriate cable to the 2505A or 1505A and the other end to the
“SENSOR” and “HEATER” connection of the 1830A, 1806A, 1806, and 1805B. Use the appropriate cables
that meet your equipment application
.
The RF IN on the Working (Feedthrough) Power Standards is an APC SMA female connector. The RF IN is
connected to the output of the chosen signal generator, which should be 50 Ohm nominal impedance. A

When connecting to the 1806 or 1806A the FLOAT/GROUND switch should be in the FLOAT (down) position.
