General Information : High Accuracy Power Meter

High Accuracy Power Meter
Introduction
When the High Accuracy Power Meter (Option 19) is installed in your instrument, an Anritsu sensor can be used to make high accuracy power measurements. This high performance option provides true RMS measurements and accurate measurements for both CW and complex digitally modulated signals. “Option 19 Power Sensors” lists the Option 19 compatible Anritsu sensors.
Note
Power values are displayed in both dBm and Watts. The Relative Power feature allows the display of power changes with respect to a desired reference value in both dB and % (percent). Limit values can be turned on as needed to indicate if a measurement is within or outside specified limits. Running Averages and a Max/Hold feature are also available.
The High Accuracy Power Sensor attaches to your instrument with a standard USB A/mini‑B cable (3-2000-1498).
The zeroing feature improves accuracy between – 20 dBm and – 30 dBm by removing measured system noise. Calibration factors can be used to correct both efficiency and mismatch loss.
Additional attenuators can be used to ensure that the power does not exceed the specified measurement range. The Enter Offset feature allows entering offset values for any cables and attenuators.
