 "Best Practices For Making The Most Accurate Radar Pulse Measurements"

Supported Power Sensors

Pulse measurements are made using any of the Agilent U2020 X-Series USB Peak
Power Sensors.
Zeroing of the U2020 X-Series USB Peak Power Sensors is performed
automatically at power up, every 5 seconds, and prior to measuring low level
signals.
How to Connect the Power Sensor
Connect your Power Sensor to one of the FieldFox USB ports.
NOTE Use an attenuator between the DUT and the power sensor when measuring
power levels that are higher than +20 dBm. The attenuator value can be
subtracted from the measurement using the Offset feature, discussed on page
146.
A sequence of status lights are displayed on the base of the power sensor.
 Green blinking light indicates the power sensor is communicating or self-tests
 Amber light indicates Zeroing is being performed.
 Red light indicates an error has occurred with the power sensor. Refer to
 No light indicates the FieldFox is not communicating with the power sensor.

Switching between Pulse Measurement Mode and Power Meter Mode
NOT Supported - Using a single USB Peak Power Sensor and switching
between Power Meter Mode and Pulse Measurement Mode. Both modes will
attempt to program the sensor, which could cause one or both modes to hang,
or at least report inaccurate data.
Supported - Using one U2000A Average Power Sensor connected to the top
USB port for Power Meter Mode, and one Peak Power Sensor connected to the
bottom USB port for Pulse Measurement Mode.
are being performed. Because the FieldFox is usually communicating with the
power sensor when it is connected, this is the normal mode of operation.
power sensor documentation.
This is the case when in Hold mode or when NOT in Pulsed Measurement
Mode.
More if your FieldFox contains more than five measurement modes.
