Coaxial RF Power Standards Instruction and Service Manual

Connecting RF Power Standards 
 

The TEGAM RF Standards are an element of a system and is not a “stand-alone” instrument. 

Control of the units is accomplished by other instruments, so it cannot be used until cabling has 

been correctly installed. Once the cabling is done, there are no further operator adjustments to be 

made on any of the models. For use of the units in a typical operating system, refer to TEGAM 

System IIA Automatic Power Meter Calibration System Operation and Service Manual (IM-198). To 

connect an RF Power standard, the internal heater must be connected to an instrument with a 

heater control circuit such as the TEGAM 1805B, 1806(A), 1830A, or 1820. To do this, simply 

connect one end the appropriate cable to the “TEMP” or heater connector on the Standard and the 

other end to the “TEMP” or “TEMPERATURE CONTROL” connector on the instrument. Use one of the 

following cables that meet your equipment applications. 

 

P/N CA-10-48 (MIC to Mini-MIC): F1125, F1130, and F1135 to 1805B, 1806, and 1820  

P/N CA-11-48 (Mini-MIC to Mini-MIC): F1125, F1130 and F1135 to 1806A and 1830A 

P/N 138-477 (MIC to MIC): M1125, M1130 and M1135 to 1805B, 1806, and 1820 

P/N CA-10-48 (MIC to Mini-MIC): M1125, M1130 and M1135 to 1806A and 1830A 

 

Models F1125 (A), F1130 (A) and F1135 (A) heater cable P/N CA-10-48 is provided. 

For Models M1125, M1130 and M1135 use the cable supplied with the 1805B, 1806(A) or 1820. 

For Models F1130B and F1135B cables may be purchased separately. 

 

Next, the BIAS VOLTAGE red and black connectors are cabled to the BIAS VOLTAGE connectors 

on an instrument with a DC Substitution bridge like the TEGAM Models 1805B, 1806(A), 1830A, 

and 1804. The BIAS VOLTAGE connectors of the standards are 5-way binding posts so banana 

plugs or spade lugs can be used. See the mating equipment instruction manual for the correct 

Bias Voltage cable part number. 

 

The RF IN on the Working (Feedthrough) Power Standards (Models F1125, F1130, F1135) is an 

SMA female coaxial connector that is connected to the output of the chosen signal generator, 

which should be 50 Ohm nominal impedance. A low loss coaxial cable is recommended to avoid 

an excessive power loss. These Models have an additional female coaxial connector called the 

“SENSOR” port. This connector is actually one of the arms of the power splitter (described in 

Section IV Theory of Operation). The DUT is connected to this port for calibration. When the 

Working RF Power Standard is being calibrated, the Reference RF Power Standard is connected to 

this port. This connector is an N type female on the F1125 and F1130 and a 3.5 mm on the 

F1135. Proper care, cleaning, alignment, and torquing of coaxial connectors should be practiced 

to reduce insertion loss and extend the life of the connectors. 

The RF input on the Reference (Terminating) Power Standards (Models M1125, M1130, M1135) is 

a male coaxial connector that is connected to the RF power source to be measured. This 

connector is a type N on the M1125 and M1130 and is a 3.5 mm on the M1135 (older version 

may have a 2.92 mm connector). Again, proper care, cleaning, alignment, and torquing of coaxial 

connectors should be practiced to reduce insertion loss, improve repeatability, and extend the life 

of the connectors. 

Once cabling has been correctly installed, there are no further operator adjustments to be made 

to the RF Power Standards. However, allow at least two hours for the heater in the RF Standard 

to reach its operating temperature. Additionally, it is recommended that once the BIAS VOLTAGE 

terminals are connected, the DC Substitution Bridge should be on for one hour before 

measurements are taken.
