Agilent Technologies E9300 manual Introduction, Sensor Low Power Path High Power Path

Introduction

Introduction

The Agilent E-series E9300 power sensors are average, wide dynamic range power sensors designed for use with the Agilent EPM series power meters.

These specifications are valid ONLY after proper calibration of the power meter and apply for continuous wave (CW) signals unless otherwise stated. Specifications apply over the temperature range 0°C to + 55°C unless otherwise stated.

Specifications quoted over the temperature range 25°C ± 10°C apply over 15% to 75% relative humidity and conform to the standard environmental test conditions as defined in TIA/EIA/IS-97-A and TIA/EIA/IS-98-A1.

The Agilent E-series E9300 power sensors have two independent measurement paths (high and low power paths):

Sensor	Low Power Path	High Power Path
E9300/1/4A	-60 dBm to -10 dBm	-10 dBm to + 20 dBm
E9300/1B	-30 dBm to + 20 dBm	+ 20 dBm to + 44 dBm
E9300/1H	-50 dBm to 0 dBm	0 dBm to + 30 dBm

Some specifications are detailed for individual measurement path, with the automatic switching point at -10 dBm for the E9300/1/4A, 20 dBm for the E9300/1B and 0 dBm for the E9300/1H.

Supplemental characteristics, which are shown in italics, are intended to provide information useful in applying the power sensors by giving typical, but nonwarranted performance parameters. These characteristics are shown in italics or denoted as “typical”, “nominal” or “approximate”.

1.TIA is the Telecommunications Industry Association; EIA is the Electronic Industries Association.

TIA/EIA/IS-97-A is the recommended Minimum Performance Standard for Base Stations Supporting Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular Mobile Stations.

TIA/EIA/IS-98-A is the recommended Minimum Performance Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular Mobile Stations.
