Sensor Model Connection Requirements
Agilent 8481A
Agilent 8481H
Agilent 8482A
Agilent 8482H
These power sensors connect directly to the reference calibrator.
Agilent 8481D
Agilent 8484A
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.
Agilent 8483A 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.
Agilent R8486A
Agilent Q8486A
Agilent V8486A
Agilent W8486A
Agilent R8486D
Agilent Q8486D
The waveguide power sensors have two connectors. The N-Type
connector is the one which is used to calibrate the power meter.
Agilent 8481B
Agilent 8482B
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.
Agilent 8485A This power sensor requires an APC 3.5 (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type
adapter (08485-60005) to connect to the reference calibrator.
Agilent 8485D 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.
Agilent 8487A This power sensor requires an APC 2.4 (f) to 50 Ω (m) N-Type
adapter (08487-60001) to connect to the power meter.
Agilent 8487D 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.
