• 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.)
