Introduction 1
Keysight E-Series E9300 Operating and Service Guide 23
The dual range Modified Barrier Integrated Diode (MBID)
[1]
package includes
further refinements to improve power handling allowing accurate measurement of
high level signals with high crest factors without incurring damage
[2]
to the
sensor.
These sensors measure average RF power on a wide variety of modulated signals
and are independent of the modulation bandwidth. They are ideally suited to the
average power measurement of multi-tone and spread spectrum signals such as
CDMA, W-CDMA and digital television formats. Also, pulsed, TDMA signals can
be measured within the constraints detailed in “Measuring TDMA Signals” on
page 36.
The results are displayed on a compatible
[3]
power meter in logarithmic (dBm or
dB) or linear (Watts or %) measurement units.

handling specifications.
