Description
The U8487A is the 50 GHz model, covering -35 dBm to +20 dBm with over 900 readings per second in fast buffer mode. The Keysight U8480 series are USB thermocouple power sensors that operate as standalone power meters when connected to a PC or compatible instrument. A thermocouple sensing element responds to true average power regardless of modulation, and fast measurement speed suits production use. The sensors offer real time measurement uncertainty and S-parameter and gamma correction. RF engineers use them for accurate power measurement in development and calibration.
Key features
- USB connection, no separate meter needed
- Thermocouple true average power sensing
- Real time measurement uncertainty feature
- S-parameter and gamma correction
- BenchVue software enabled
Typical applications
- Calibration of signal sources
