HP Q8486A Thermocouple Waveguide Power Sensor, 33 GHz to 50 GHz

The HP Q8486A 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 Q8486A 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.
