By substituting equation 3 into equation 1 and manipulating the result
you get:

=
This quadratic can be solved to give equation 2.
The definitions of the terms in equation 2 are:
• V
applied and after the Agilent 432A has been zeroed.
• V
This power is approximately 1 mW.
• V
chassis ground with power applied.
• R is the resistance of the mount resistor in the Agilent 432A power
meter.
• Calibration Factor is the value of the thermistor mount at 50 MHz.
Equipment
• Test power meter: Agilent 432A.
• Thermistor Mount: Agilent 478A Option H75 or H76.
• Digital Voltmeter (DVM): Agilent 3458A.
Procedure
Note
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. Set up the DVM to measure resistance. Connect the DVM between the
