4 Using E4410 E-Series Power Sensors
Introduction
The E4410 E- Series power sensors are diode based power sensors. They
are intended for the measurement of CW microwave power levels in a
wide dynamic range from –70 dBm to +20 dBm (100 pW to 100 mW).
These are high- speed power sensors, and do not incorporate
narrow- bandwidth averaging used in average- power sensors. Signals with
digital, pulse, or other forms of amplitude modulation may introduce
measurement errors.
Multi- tone signals (containing multiple frequency components), or signals
with significant harmonic content (> –45 dBc) may introduce measurement
errors at high power levels.
Please refer to the documentation supplied with your E- Series E4410
power sensor for specification and calibration information.
