WARNING Safety Earth Ground An uniterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the main power source to test instruments. Grounding one conductor of a two conductor power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious injury or death can occur if this grounding is not properly supplied. WARNING Resuscitation Personnel working with or near high voltages... -

Page 13: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction Description The Bird 5015 Terminating Power Sensor (TPS) is a diode-based power sensor that measures true average power from 40 MHz to 4 GHz and from –20 dBm to +10 dBm. For best results, wait 5 minutes after applying power to the sensor before taking readings. -
Page 15: Chapter 2 Installation
CAUTION Do not exceed 2 W average or 125 W peak power for 5 µs when using the TPS or the TPS-EF. Doing so will render the sensor inoperative. Note: Connections are the same for the Bird 5011 and 5011-EF. - Page 16 To connect to a PC with VPM2 software (5015 and 5015-EF ONLY): Connect the Bird TPS to the a USB port on the PC using the sensor cable provided. 2. Connect the TPS RF input to the source (using an attenuator, if appropriate).

Do not interrupt the calibration! A bar on the screen will display calibration progress. Power Measurement Accuracy Accuracy The Bird power sensors are highly accurate. Accuracy is specified for each sensor type is typically given as a per- cent of reading or of full-scale. -
Page 18: Sensor Uncertainty
Example - If a sensor has a specified accuracy of 5% of reading + 1.0 uW, then for a 10 mW signal the uncertainty is ± 0.501 mW. For a 1 mW signal the measurement uncertainty is ± 0.051 mW. Sensor Uncertainty While this value is a good estimate, the sensor is actu- ally more accurate. - Page 19 Other < 40 °C or > 100 MHz ± 0.50% Resolution ± ½ smallest displayed digit (e.g. for a mW scale, three decimal places are displayed. ½ the smallest is 0.5 µW) † Zero Set ± 0.125 µW Noise above 1.05 mW ±...
- Page 20 Table 3 has two examples of uncertainty calculations. The first is a 10 mW signal at room temperature. The second is a 10 µW, 40 MHz signal at 50°C. Since this measurement is at both low frequency and high tem- perature, the uncertainty will be increased.

Page 21: Mismatch Uncertainty
Mismatch Uncertainty Another factor of measurement accuracy is mismatch uncertainty. When a source and a load have different impedances, some signal will be reflected back to the source. This uncertainty depends on both the VSWR of the TPS and the VSWR of the rest of the system. For a system VSWR of 1.0, the mismatch uncertainty would be 0. - Page 22 2.39 Using a lower VSWR source can drastically reduce the mismatch uncertainty. Keep in mind that the typical VSWR of the Model 5011 is 1.03:1, which gives a much lower mismatch uncertainty. Example - With the 1.50:1 source, the mis- match uncertainty would be: ρ...
