HP 8487A Power Sensor, 50 MHz to 50 GHz

Product Summary

The HP 8487A thermocouple power sensor is designed for use with the HP 435B, 436A, 437B, 438A, 70100A, and E1416A power meters and provides extraordinary accuracy and stability. The HP 8487A power sensor 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 50 MHz 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.

Product Features

• Excellent SWR for reducing mismatch uncertainty

• 50 MHz calibration port

• Accurate calibration and traceability to NIST millimeter-wave sensor calibration

• Accessories included for accuracy optimization and customer convenience
