  • Semiconductors
  • Wave bands
  • Wave Bands given in the notes.
  • Power type and voltage
  • Powered by external power supply or a main unit.
  • Loudspeaker
  • - - No sound reproduction output.
  • Material
  • Metal case
  • from Radiomuseum.org
  • Model: Power Sensor 8484A - Hewlett-Packard, HP; Palo Alto
  • Dimensions (WHD)
  • 20 x 60 x 20 mm / 0.8 x 2.4 x 0.8 inch
  • Notes
  • Power Sensor 8484A is used for measuring the average power supply from an RF source with a Power Meter (like model HP 435A).

    Properties and specifications:

    Frequency Range 10 MHz to 18 GHz;

    Power Measurement Range 100 pW to 10 µW (-70 dBm to -20 dBm);

    Maximum Permissible RF Power, Average or Peak 200 mW;

    Maximum dc Voltage to RF Input 20 V;

    RF Impedance 50 ohms nominal; Type N Male RF connector;

    For calibration with 1 mW an HP 11708A 30 dB Attenuator is required to reduce the power to an allowable level of 1 µW;

    By the addition of a 60dB - 10W attenuator (or a 30 dB 10W in series with a 30 dB 10 mW attenuator) Power Sensor 8484A allows to measure power levels up to 10W. (Power Sensor HP 8481H is only capable to measure a maximum power of 3W, using the 0.3 mW - 10 W dial knob option of Power Meter 435A.)
