CW microwave power levels in a wide dynamic range from -70 dBm to +20 dBm (100 pW to 100 mW). The E4412A measures at frequencies from 10 MHz to 18.0 GHz. The E4413A measures at frequencies from 50 MHz to 26.5 GHz.
The E4412A and E4413A power sensors are extremely static- sensitive. Do not NOTE open the power sensor unless you and the power sensor are at a static-free workstation. Specifications For the specifications of the E4412A and E4413A power sensors, refer to the datasheet at http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5990-4019EN.pdf. ±6 % ±3 % –20 –35...
