Agilent / HP / Keysight R8486A
R8486A Thermocouple Waveguide Power Sensor
Description
This Power Sensor is designed for use with the Agilent 435B, 436A, 437B, 438A, 70100A, and E1416A power meters and provides extraordinary accuracy and stability.
This unit gives you extremely low SWR even at mm wave frequencies, and is traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
A 50MHz calibration port is included with the power sensor for calibration with the power meter.
This calibration provides traceability to NIST at millimeter wave frequencies, and it eliminates the uncertainties due to temperature changes and the variance in making measurements with different meter/sensor combinations.
Key Points
Excellent SWR for reducing mismatch uncertainty
Accurate calibration and traceability
Compatible with EPM, EPM-P and P-series power meters
Accurate average power measurements over -30 to +20dBm
