Agilent X486A RF Sensor – Legacy Thermistor Design

Description

Additional Features:

• Frequency Range:
  • 8.20 to 12.4 GHz
• Maximum SWR:
  • 1.5 High accuracy even in routine power measurements
• Temperature compensated for low drift
• Measures microwave power as low as one microwatt
• Shows calibration factor and effective efficiency at six frequencies

The Agilent X486A, Waveguide Thermistor Mount, that provides high efficiency and good match are characteristic of the Agilent X486A waveguide thermistor mounts. Used in conjunction with the Agilent 432A power meter, they provide high accuracy even in routine power measurements. These thermistor mounts are temperature compensated for low drift, even in the presence of thermal shocks, permitting measurement of microwave power as low as one microwatt. Each mount contains data showing calibration factor and effective efficiency at six frequencies, directly traceable to the U.S. National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST)at those frequencies where NIST provides calibration service.
