RF Power Meter for Metrology r 3 • Calibrates 50 MHz reference outputs and other signal sources • Lowest uncertainty • Compatible with thermistor power sensors from: • Agilent (HP) • TEGAM • Weinschel • Hughes • General Microwave • Millitech • Supports 100 Q and 200 Q thermistors • Four digit calibration factor resolution • Full function Ethernet and USB Interfaces • Heater control for ovenized sensors v_) Thermistor RF power sensors are universally recognized as the most accurate means to measure and transfer RF power. The TEGAM Model 1830A was designed to operate with all types of thermistor RF power sensors while reducing uncertainties. It combines a modern DC substitution bridge with a precision measurement system to provide consistent, calibrated RF power readings manually or automatically. Better Measurements TEGAM used it's experience building Type IV bridges and developed a superior DC substitution power meter with advanced analog and digital electronics that provide the lowest uncertainties possible in a portable instrument. The dynamic range extends from -30 to +14 dBm and the frequency range from 100 kHz to 50 GHz. Both of these parameters are dependent on the actual measurement sensor. Special attention was paid to the Common Mode performance to reject the applied RF signal across the entire measurement band. In addition to more accurate measurements, the TEGAM 1830A is also equipped with convenient features such as calibration factor table storage, as well as both USB and Ethernet communication interfaces. Greater Flexibility There are many thermistor based RF power sensors available. The Model 1830A is designed to bias either 100 Q or 200 Q mounts and has dual bridges for balancing both RF sense and compensation thermistors such as contained in the Agilent 478A and 8478B. It also is works with the Agilent 486A series of waveguide sensors and includes a heater circuit for all TEGAM and Weinschel ovenized thermistor mounts. The model 1830A comes in a compact 2U half rack configuration. Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. 1830A-909 Rev. B
