2 Performance Tests
48 Keysight E4416A/E4417A Power Meters Service Guide
– Test line limit: 0.1%.
– System uncertainty: 0.3%.
– 2 year oscillator drift: 0.04%.
– Delta environment: <0.06%.
The same equipment used to measure the accuracy of the power reference
oscillator can also be used to set it to the post-factory accuracy of ±0.4% (for
further information refer to Chapter 3, "Adjustments").
The following procedure ensures maximum accuracy in measuring power
reference oscillator output using Keysight test instruments of known capability.
Signal acquisition criteria may vary if alternative test instruments are used. In
such cases refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for further information.
The test is performed using Equation 2-4:
Equation 2-4: Power Level Provided By The Reference Oscillator
The components of this equation are defined as follows:
–V
0
is the voltage measured between V
comp
and V
RF
with no power applied and
after the Keysight 432A has been zeroed.
–V
1
is the voltage measured between V
comp
and V
RF
with power applied. This
power is approximately 1 mW.
–V
comp
is the voltage between the Keysight 432A V
comp
connector and chassis
ground with power applied.
– R is the resistance of the mount resistor in the Keysight 432A power meter. For
further information refer to Appendix A.
– Calibration Factor is the value of the thermistor mount at 50 MHz.
