5-10 Agilent E4418B User’s Guide
For Agilent E-series power sensors
In FAST mode, within the range -50 dBm to +17 dBm, for a 10 dB
decreasing power step, the settling time is 10 ms
1.
1
When a decreasing power step crosses the power sensor’s auto-range switch
point, add 25 ms. Refer to the relevant power sensor manual for further
information.
For Agilent E-series power sensors in normal and x2 speed modes, manual
filter, 10 dB decreasing power step:
