E-Series average power sensor specifications (continued) Effects of change in temperature on linearity If temperature changes and you choose not to re-calibrate the sensor, add the following power linearity error to the linearity specs in Table 9: For small changes in temperature Typical maximum additional power linearity error = ±0.
E-Series average power sensor specifications³(continued) Switch point data The E9300 power sensors have two paths as shown in Table 7. The power meter automatically selects the proper power level path. To avoid unnecessary switching when the power level is near the switch point, switching point hysteresis has been added. Example with E9300 “A” suffix sensors: Hysteresis causes the low power path to remain selected until approximately –9.5 dBm as the power level is increased.
E-Series average power sensor specifications (continued) Calibration factor (CF) and reflection coefficient (Rho) Calibration factor and reflection coefficient data are provided at frequency intervals on a data sheet included with the power sensor. This data is unique to each sensor. If you have more than one sensor, match the serial number on the Certificate of Calibration (COC) with the serial number on the power sensor you are using. The CF corrects for the frequency response of the sensor.
8480 Series diode and thermocouple power sensor specifications The 8480 Series sensors provide extraordinary accuracy, stability and SWR over a wide range of frequencies (100 kHz to 110 GHz) and power levels –70 dBm to +44 dBm.
