2 U2000 Series Operating and Service Guide

Introduction

The Agilent U2000 Series USB power sensors are standalone power

sensors used for measuring the average power of continuous wave (CW)

and modulated signals in 9 GHz to 24 GHz frequency range and –60 dBm

to +44 dBm power range. The power sensors provide an easy

plug- and- play USB connectivity to a PC or laptop, thus eliminating the

need for a separate conventional power meter. The power sensors also

compatible with some selected USB- based instruments from Agilent.

The figure below shows the Agilent U2000 Series USB power sensors

family.
