E-series E9300 average
power sensors
Switch point data
The E9300 power sensors have two
paths, a low power path covers:
-60 to -10 dBm (“A” suffix sensors),
-30 to +20 dBm (“B” suffix sensors),
and -50 to 0 dBm (“H” suffix sen-
sors). The high power path covers: -
10 to +20 dBm (“A” suffix sensors),
+20 to +44 dBm (“B” suffix sensors),
and 0 to +30 dBm (“H” suffix sen-
sors). The power meter automatical-
ly selects the proper power level
path. To avoid unnecessary switch-
ing when the power level is near the
switch point, switching point
hysteresis has been added.
E9300 “A” suffix sensors example:
hysteresis causes the low power path
to remain selected until approxi-
mately -9.5 dBm as the power level
is increased, above this power the
high power path will be selected.
The high power path will remain
selected until approximately
-10.5 dBm is reached as the signal
level decreases, below this power the
low power path will be selected.
Switching point linearity: Typically
≤
±0.5% (
≤
±0.02 dB)
Switching point hysteresis: 0.5 dB

1. RH is the abbreviation for relative humidity.
2. Within 1 hour after zero set, at a constant temperature, after a 24-hour warm-up of the power meter with
power sensor connected.
3. The number of averages at 16 for normal mode and 32 for x2 mode, at a constant temperature, measured
over a one minute interval and two standard deviations.
