Using N8480 Series Power Sensors 8
Keysight N1911A/1912A User’s Guide 231
Similiar to the E-Series power sensors, the N8480 Series power sensors are also
equipped with EEPROM to store sensor’s characteristics such as model number,
serial number, linearity, temperature compensation, calibration factor
[1]
and so
forth. However, the calibration factor table stored in EEPROM is not applicable for
N8480 Series power sensors with Option CFT, and require that you use default
calibration tables or manually enter the required correction factors. Likewise, they
cannot be used to make peak or time gated measurements.
The N8480 Series power sensors consist of four sensor model types with
respective power range:
– A-models (–35 dBm to +20 dBm)
N8481A, N8482A, N8485A, N8487A, and N8488A
– B-models (–5 dBm to +44 dBm)
N8481B and N8482B
– H-models (–15 dBm to +35 dBm)
N8481H and N8482H
– Waveguide-models (–35 dBm to +20 dBm)
N8486AQ and N8486AR
Please refer to the documentation supplied with your Keysight N8480 Series
power sensors for specification and calibration information.
