Connection Requirements
These power sensors connect directly to the reference calibrator.
Prior to the power meter being calibrated an Agilent 11708A 30 dB
reference attenuator should be connected between the power sensor and the
reference calibrator. This attenuator must be removed from the power
sensor input prior to making measurements.
This power sensor requires a 75 Ω (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type adapter
(1250-0597) to connect to the reference calibrator. This adapter must be
removed from the power sensor input prior to making measurements.
The waveguide power sensors have two connectors. The N-Type connector
is the one which is used to calibrate the power meter.
These power senors are configured with an attenuator. Prior to the power
meter being calibrated, this attenuator must be removed. The attenuator
must be reconnected prior to making measurements.
This power sensor requires an APC 3.5 (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type adapter
(08485-60005) to connect to the reference calibrator.
Prior to the power meter being zeroed and calibrated an Agilent 11708A
30 dB reference attenuator and an APC 3.5 (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type adapter
(08485-60005) should be connected between the power sensor and the
reference calibrator. This attenuator must be removed from the power
sensor input prior to making measurements.
This power sensor requires an APC 2.4 (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type adapter
(08487-60001) to connect to the power meter.
Prior to the power meter being zeroed and calibrated an Agilent 11708A
30 dB reference attenuator and an APC 2.4 (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type adapter
(08487-60001) should be connected between the power sensor and the
reference calibrator. This attenuator must be removed from the power
sensor input prior to making measurements.
