7 Using 8480 Series Power Sensors
174 N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters User’s Guide
Introduction
The 8480 Series offers a wide range of both thermocouple and diode
based power sensors. Many have very specific applications, for example
the 110GHz W8486A or the +44 dBm 8482B. However, they do not have
their calibration factors stored in EEPROM, unlike all E- Series, and
require that you use default calibration tables or manually enter the
required correction factors. Likewise, they cannot be used to make peak or
time gated measurements.
Please refer to the documentation supplied with your Agilent 8480 Series
power sensors for specification and calibration information.
