02 | Keysight | P-Series Power Meters and P-Series Wideband Power Sensors – Configuration Guide
Introduction
This configuration guide describes standard configurations, options and compatible
accessories. Contact your local Keysight Technologies, Inc. representative for additional
information.
P-Series Power Meters
The P-Series power meters provide peak, average, peak-to-average ratio power measurements,
time-gated and free run modes, rise time, fall time and pulse width measurements.
The P-Series power meters are compatible with the 8480, E-Series and new P-Series power
sensors. The P-Series power meters have a different sensor input connector than the EPM and
EPM-P Series power meters, so it is necessary to use adapter cables. These adapter cables
come in three different lengths. When using the 8480 or E-Series sensors, refer to the Cable
Accessories section in this guide. For additional information, refer to the Literature References
section.
The standard P-Series power meters include:
– Single-channel power meter, order N1911A or dual-channel power meter, order N1912A
– Input sensor connector(s) on the front panel
– Reference calibrator (1 mW, 50 MHz) connector on the front panel
– Documentation CD-ROM
– Keysight Instrument Control DVD
– IO libraries suite
– Command expert
– BenchVue software platform
– 30-day free trial of BenchVue power meter/sensor control and analysis app
– Supplied accessories: power cord (plug matches country destination requirements)
– USB adapter cable (part number 8121-1583, Cable-Assembly 4Pin-5Pin Male USB 2000
mm-LG)
P-Series Wideband Power Sensors
The P-Series wideband power sensors are designed specifically for operation with the P-Series
power meters for wide bandwidth power and time measurements. These sensors are the only
Keysight power sensors that have their cable permanently wired (hard-wired) into the sensor.
This provides better wide bandwidth specifications compared to having a removable cable.
Refer to the Sensor Cable Lengths section in this guide for part number and cable length
information.
The standard P-Series power sensors include:
– Power sensor 50 MHz to 18 GHz, order N1921A
– Power sensor 50 MHz to 40 GHz, order N1922A
– Documentation CD-ROM
1. The Installation Guide is in English, French, and Japanese languages (part number N1912-90009).
