  • Page 17: Sensor Performance Tests

    Any suspect power sensor should have two parameters tested: input match and sensitivity. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power sensors. Contact your local Anritsu Service Center and return the power sensor with a detailed description of the observed problem(s).
  • Page 18: Swr (Reflection Coefficient) Performance Test

    If the Actual Measurement reflection coefficient is larger than the Expected Maximum Reflection Coefficient, then the power sensor may be defective. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power sensors. Contact your local Anritsu Service Center and return the power sensor with a detailed description of the observed problem(s).

  • Page 30: Power Measurement Uncertainty

    Power Measurement Uncertainty General Information Overall power measurement uncertainty has many component parts that affect uncertainty when measuring power with Anritsu power sensors: · Instrument Accuracy – the accuracy of the meter used to read the power sensor. · Sensor Linearity and Temperature Linearity – Sensor linearity and temperature linearity describe the relative power level re- sponse over the dynamic range of the sensor.
  • Page 31 An example of measurement uncertainty is detailed for several MA2400 Series power sensors in the table below. Anritsu power sensors are used to measure the power of a 16 GHz, 12.0 dBm signal from a source with a 1.5:1 SWR.
  • Page 32: Sensor Calibration Factor Uncertainty

    NOTE Calibration Factor Uncertainty figures for the MA2481/MA2482 sensors are taken in CW (Option 1) mea- surement mode. Power sensor calibration is performed at regional Anritsu Service Centers. Con- tact your Anritsu representative for local calibration and service support.
  • Page 36: Power Sensor Care And Handling

    The pin depth of DUT connectors should be measured to assure compatibility before attempting to mate them with Power Sensor connectors. An Anritsu Pin Depth Gauge (Figure 3), or equivalent, can be used for this purpose.
  • Page 37 RF component connector. If the test device connector measures out of toler- ance in the “–” region, the center pin is too short. This should not cause damage, but it will result in a poor connection and a consequent degradation in perform- ance. Anritsu Pin Depth Pin Depth Connector...
  • Page 38: Avoid Over Torquing Connectors

    Avoid Over Torquing Connectors Over torquing connectors is destructive; it may damage the connector center pin. A torque wrench (12 inch-pounds) is recommended for tightening N connectors. Always use a torque wrench (8 inch-pounds) for K and V type connectors. Never use pliers to tighten connectors.
  • Page 39 The following are some important tips on cleaning connectors: · Use only denatured alcohol as a cleaning solvent. · Do not use excessive amounts of alcohol as prolonged drying of the connector may be required. · Never put lateral pressure on the center pin of the connector. ·...
