Description
The N5532A is intended to be used with the N5531S or N5530S
Measuring Receiver System. It is essentially a power sensor with a
power splitter at the input. See
Figure 1-1 on page
7. In use, the sensor
module's two output cables are connected to a power meter (E4418/19,
E4416/17, or N1911/12 Series) and the Performance Spectrum Analyzer
(PSA) RF Input. When using an N1911 or N1912 Series power meter, it
is necessary to use an adapter (N5532A Option 019) to connect the
output cable of the sensor module to the power meter. The sensor
module is calibrated such that the power meter indicates the power
supplied by the source under test.
The N5532A Sensor Module is offered in four frequency configurations:
• Option 504 covers 100 kHz to 4.2 GHz
• Option 518 covers 10 MHz to 18 GHz
• Option 526 covers 30 MHz to 26.5 GHz
• Option 550 covers 30 MHz to 50 GHz
(with adaptor 11903D 2.4mm(f) to Type N(m))
The sensor module accurately measures power levels from -20 dBm to
+30 dBm (10 µW to 1 W). Calibration Factor (Cal Factor) information is
unique to each sensor module and is supplied on a floppy disc included
with each N5532A. Please refer to
"Installing the Calibration Factors"
on page 2-12
for more information on using the Cal Factor Data.
