Calibration and Testing
Manual 21568, Rev. F, March 2008
50 MHz, -30 dBm
Pulse output settings:
PRF 100 Hz
Width: 2 msec
Pulse State: ON
NOTE: Applies to 80350A, 80353A and 80354A sensors only.
1. Set the Pulse Sensor trigger to Internal and sample delay to 1 ms.
2. Set the sensor trigger level to -5 dBm. Set the pulse amplitude of the RF source to 0 dBm
and verify triggering by noting that the sample delay pulse is present
3. Set the RF source level to -20 dBm verify triggering does not occur.
4. Set the sensor trigger level to -10 dBm and set the RF source level to 0 dBm and verify
trigger operation.
5. Set the Pulse Sensor to external trigger (EXT TRIG). Set the sensor external trigger level to
1.7 V
DC. Verify triggering with +5 V pulse input. Set the input level to 0 dBm. Verify that the
sensor is triggered and the meter displays a valid power reading.
6. Disable the external trigger then set the input level to -10 dBm. Verify that the sensor is not
triggered. The peak sensor should not trigger.
4.4.2.2 High Power Peak Sensors
Set the RF source to the following settings:
50 MHz, -30 dBm
Pulse output settings:
PRF 100 Hz
Width: 2 msec
Pulse State: ON
NOTE: Applies to 80351A, 80352A or 80355A sensors only.
1. Remove the attentuator before connecting the sensor to the pulse source. Do not
exceed +23 dBm peak input power to the sensor.
2. Set the Pulse Sensor trigger to Internal and sample delay to 1 ms.
3. Select the appropriate table on the datasheet based on the model number of the sensor
being tested.
4. Set the sensor trigger level to +15 dBm for the 80351A sensor and +25 dBm for the
80352A and 80355A sensors. Set the syntehsizer level to 0 dBm and verify trigger
operation.
5. Set the RF source level to -20 dBm and verify triggering does not occur.
6. Set the trigger level to +10 dBm for the 80351A sensor and +20 dBm for the 80352A and
80355A sensors. Set the RF source level to 0 dBm and verify trigger operation..
7. Set the Pulse Sensor to external trigger (EXT TRIG). Set the external trigger to 1.7 VDC.
Verify triggering with +5 V pulse input. Set the input level to 0 dBm. Verify that the sensor
is triggered and the meter displays a valid power reading.
8. Disable the external input trigger then set the RF source level to -10 dBm. Verify that the
sensor is not triggered. The peak sensor should not trigger.
NOTE: Reset the sensor trigger when testing for a non-triggered state after the sensor has
been triggered. Resetting the sensor trigger can be acheived by varying the sample delay by
