Description
The N5532A is intended to be used with the N5531S or the early N5530S
Measuring Receiver System. It is essentially a power sensor with a power splitter
at the input. See

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
using the Cal Factor Data.
