N8480 Series Power Sensors are the replacement solutions for 8480 Series Power Sensors. The new power sensors are integrated with EEPROM feature, which allows users to calibrate the power sensors without manually entering the calibration factors to the power meter. By comparing to legacy 8480 Series Power Sensors, there are tremendous improvements such as wider dynamic range and frequency range, better accuracy, linearity, repeatability, and SWR.
The N8488A power sensors have the widest frequency range in Keysight’s family of N8480 power sensors. Each of these new sensors allow users to calibrate the power sensor without manually entering the calibration factors in to the power meter. Similar to the rest of N8480 power sensors, the new N8488A power sensors are designed with excellent accuracy, linearity, repeatability, and SWR.
| Key Features |
| EEPROM to store cal factors eliminates manual entry |
| Wide frequency range from 10 MHz to 67 GHz (Not warranted spec from 67 to 70 GHz) |
| Wide dynamic range from -35 to +20 dBm |
| Best-in-class power linearity of less than 1%, excellent SWR of mismatch uncertainty and highly accurate power repeatability |
| Accurate calibration and traceability to US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) |
| SCPI codes compatibility |
| Compatible with EPM (new N1913/14A, E4418/19B), EPM-P (E4416/17A), P-Series (N1911/12A) power meters |
Note: All N8480 series power sensors are not compatible with the Keysight 43x, E1416A, N8262A power meters, 5314x microwave counters and E7495x base station test set.
