E4416A/E4417A Power Meters Service Guide 31
It is not necessary to check instrument accuracy in dBm. The power meter
uses the same internal circuitry to measure power and mathematically
converts watts to dBm.

1. These performance limits are determined by the zero set specification of the power sensor used in the measurement plus
the measurement noise.
The nominal outputs for the 3 μW, 30 μW, 300 μW, 3 mW, 10 mW, 30 mW and 100 mW
settings are 3.16 μW, 31.6 μW, 100 μW, 316 μW, 3.156 mW, 10.034 mW, 31.785 mW,
and 101.35 mW respectively.
