3 Specifications and Characteristics

Introduction

U2000 Series USB power sensors are average, wide dynamic range power
sensors that can be used with a PC or some selected USB- based
instruments from Agilent. The U2000 Series USB power sensors have two
measurement modes:
• Average only mode (default mode): chopper- based measurement
• Normal
The specifications contained in this chapter are valid ONLY after proper
calibration of the power sensor and apply to continuous wave (CW)
signals unless otherwise stated. The recommended calibration interval for
this product is 1 year. Specifications apply over a temperature range 0 °C
to +55 °C unless otherwise stated.
Specifications quoted over a temperature range of 25 °C ±10 °C apply to
a relative humidity of 15% to 75% and conform to the standard
environmental test conditions. These specifications are valid after a
30- minute warm- up period.
The dynamic range of the U2000 Series USB power sensors is –60 dBm to
+44 dBm and the range is divided into two independent measurement
paths — a low power path and a high power path, as shown below:
Some specifications are detailed for individual measurement paths, with
