HP 8487D Diode Power Sensor, 50 MHz to 50 GHz |
The HP 8487D diode 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 8487D high-sensitivity
power sensor acts as a true-RMS reading device over its entire -70 to
-20 dBm dynamic range which gives you accurate readings even if your
test signal is subjected to multitone environments, modulated carriers,
or carriers with high harmonics. You also get extremely low SWR at
mm-wave frequencies, and it's 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 eliminates the uncertainties due to temperature changes
and the variance in making measurements with different meter/sensor
combinations.
