Agilent E-Series Power Sensor Functional Test

Agilent E-Series Power Sensor Functional Test

Description

This test verifies that the meter/sensor combination can make RF
measurements.
The Agilent E-series power sensors operate over a 90 dB dynamic range
(-70 to +20 dBm). However, since there is an amplifier in these power
sensors, the voltages presented to the power sensor connector are always
within the range of voltages available from the Agilent 11683A range
calibrator.

Equipment

Procedure

To complete the Functional Test the following procedure should be
performed.

The procedure details the key presses required on the
Agilent E4418B. For the Agilent E4419B the equivalent key
presses should be performed on both channels.
1. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 2-5.
