Measurement Accuracy

Power sensors have small errors in their response over frequency. The
response of each sensor is measured during manufacture to determine
correction factors. With E- Series power sensors, correction factors are
held in Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
and are downloaded to the power meter automatically.
Using calibration factors enables improved measurement accuracy. This
section describes making average power measurements using the E9300
E- Series power sensors.
Making a measurement requires the following steps:
1 Zero and calibrate the power meter/sensor combination.
2 Set the frequency for the signal you want to measure.
3 Make the measurement.

E9300A These power sensors connect directly to the POWER REF.
E9300H
E9301A
E9301H
E9304A
E9300B These power sensors are configured with an attenuator. Prior to
E9301B calibration this attenuator must be removed. Replace the attenuator
before making measurements.
