Mounting The Model 2602A is not designed to be rack mounted. Only use with Proper Equipment: The 2602A is designed to be used with the TEGAM Model 1830A with bias and heater cable CA-21-15 or CA-21-48. Use in Proper Environment Normal calibration laboratory practice dictates that the environment should be closely controlled.

Theory of RF Measurements with the 2602A Power Measurements RF power is measured in terms of a power change across the precision resistance leg of a TEGAM 1830A Bridge Circuit. A digital voltmeter measures voltage across the precision resistance leg which can be used to determine the power.
Power Splitter The Models 2602A contain a two-element resistive power splitter. The T-shaped divider contains a series 50 ohm resistor in each of the two legs. The test port is a Type N Connector precision female connector.
These units are designed as the sensing element in RF power calibration and measurement systems. The 2602A is no different other than its ability to work in a much higher power range due to the coupler located on the input. The 2602A is designed to work in a system with a calorimeter. An example of this type of system is the TEGAM Model 1314 Calorimeter.

1830A. Use the appropriate cables that meet your equipment application. The RF IN on the 2602A Power Standards is a Type N female connector. The RF IN is connected to the output of the chosen signal generator through an RF amplifier, which should be 50 Ohm nominal impedance.

The 2602A should be calibrated periodically to maintain accuracy when using these standards. The frequency and method of calibration can vary based on the customer’s requirement. TEGAM maintains full capability to calibrate these standards. Contact TEGAM to discuss your specific needs or to set up a return RMA to have your standard calibrated.
