The Keysight (formerly Agilent) N8482A is an advanced thermocouple power sensor belonging to the N8480 series, which replace the legacy 8480 series of power sensors by the same manufacturer. The N8480 series devices come with an integrated EEPROM module, which can be used to store calibration factors for the power meter and thus, avoids any errors owing to manual entry of these factors, which was required in the legacy 8480 series. As a result, not only does this ensure greater power measurement accuracy and repeatability, it also comes with a wider dynamic range, linearity and SWR.
Key Features & Specifications
- EEPROM to store calibration factors eliminates manual entry and reduces measurement errors
- Wide frequency range from 100 kHz to 6 GHz
- Wide dynamic range from -35 dBm 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 compatible with 8480 series (option CFT)
Option CFT is available as a replacement of legacy 8480 Series power sensors intended for calibration factor manual entry and SCPI compatibility. Option CFT is not compatible with 43x and other obsolete power meters.
- SCPI codes compatible with E-Series sensor (standard option)
- Compatible with EPM (new N1913/14A, E4418/19B), EPM-P (E4416/17A), P-Series (N1911/12A) power meters (Firmware upgrade required)
