Power Sensor Calibration Factor Entry
5. Press
to access the calibration factor menu for power sensor A
(8482A for a 50Ω analyzer, or 8483A Option H03 for a 75Ω analyzer).
6. Zero and calibrate the power meter and power sensor.
7. Build a table of up to 55 points (55 frequencies with their calibration factors). To enter
each point, follow these steps:
a. Press .
b. Input a frequency value and then press the appropriate key ( , , or ).
c. Press and enter the calibration factor percentage that corresponds
to the frequency you entered.
The cal factor and frequency values are found on the back of the sensor. If you make
a mistake, press and re-enter the correct value.
d. Press to complete the data entry for each point.
NOTE The following terms are part of the sensor calibration menu.
8. For Option 006 Instruments Only: Press to create a
power sensor calibration table for power sensor B (8481A), using the softkeys
mentioned above.
9. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 3-2.
