Introduction

This chapter details the power meter's specifications and supplemental
characteristics.
Specifications: describe the warranted performance and apply after a 30
minute warm- up. These specifications are valid over the power meter's
operating and environmental range unless otherwise stated and after
performing a zero and calibration procedure.
Supplemental characteristics: shown in italics, are intended to provide
information useful in applying the power meter by giving typical (expected),
but non warranted performance parameters. These characteristics are shown
in italics or denoted as "typical", "nominal" or "approximate".
Measurement uncertainties: for information on measurement uncertainty
calculations, refer to Agilent Application Note 64- 1, "Fundamentals of RF and
Microwave Power Measurements", Literature Number 5965- 6630E.
Compatibility: the EPM- P Series power meters operate with the E- Series E9320
family of power sensors for peak, average and time gated measurements. The
EPM- P Series meters also operate with existing 8480 Series, N8480 Series,
E- Series E4410 and E9300 ranges of power sensors for average power
measurements.
Measurement Modes: the EPM- P Series power meters have two measurement
modes:
• Normal mode: (default mode using E- Series E9320 sensors) for peak,
average and time related measurements.
• Average- only mode: this mode is primarily for average power
measurements on low level signals, when using E- Series E9320 sensors,
and is the mode used with 8480 Series, N8480 Series and E- Series E4410
and E9300 ranges of power sensors.
