N8480 Series Thermocouple Power Sensor Specifications
The N8480 Series power sensors (excluding Option CFT) measure power levels
from –35 dBm to +44 dBm (316 nW to 25.1 W), at frequencies from 100 kHz to
50 GHz and have two independent power measurement range (upper and lower
range).
Meanwhile, the N8480 sensors with Option CFT only measure power levels
from –30 dBm to +44 dBm (1 μW to 25.1 W) in single range. Similiar to the
E-Series power sensors, the N8480 Series power sensors are also equipped with
EEPROM to store sensor’s characteristics such as model number, serial number,
linearity, temperature compensation, calibration factor, and so forth.
This feature ensures the correct calibration data is applied by any compatible
power meter connected with N8480 Series power sensor, and to ensure the
accuracy of the measurements.
