Agilent E-Series Power Sensor Functional Test

Agilent E-Series Power Sensor Functional Test

Description

This test verifies that the meter/sensor combination can make RF measurements.

The Agilent E-series power sensors operate over a 90 dB dynamic range (-70 to +20 dBm). However, since there is an amplifier in these power sensors, the voltages presented to the power sensor connector are always within the range of voltages available from the Agilent 11683A range calibrator.

Equipment

Power Sensor Cable	Agilent 11730A
Reference Attenuator	Agilent 11708A
Agilent E-series power sensor

Procedure

To complete the Functional Test the following procedure should be performed.

Note	The procedure details the key presses required on the
	Agilent E4418B. For the Agilent E4419B the equivalent key
	presses should be performed on both channels.
	1. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 2-5.
