Keysight U8487A Power Sensor
Elevate Your Precision Measurement Capabilities up to 50 GHz
Enhanced Frequency Range
The Keysight U8487A Power Sensor boasts a remarkable frequency range, extending up to 50 GHz. This exceptional capability allows for swift and accurate high-frequency power measurements, making it ideal for applications such as PNA/MXG calibration and high-volume manufacturing processes.
Real-Time Measurement Uncertainty
Designed for efficiency, the U8487A features a USB thermocouple that calculates real-time measurement uncertainty at any given moment. This innovation eliminates the need for manual calculations, reducing test durations while providing highly precise measurements. Additionally, the sensor allows users to view power measurements alongside their corresponding uncertainties simultaneously for enhanced analysis.
S-Parameter and Gamma Correction
Improve measurement accuracy with integrated S-parameter and gamma correction functionalities. These features effectively correct for impedance mismatches and any errors introduced by components situated between the Device Under Test (DUT) and the power sensor, ensuring your results are as reliable as possible.
Direct Measurements from Your PC
The U8480 series is fully compatible with Keysight BenchVue software, empowering users to control their power meters effortlessly. With BenchVue, you can log data and visualize measurements without the need for any programming. Simply connect the U8487A to a PC equipped with the BenchVue BV0007B Power Meter/Sensor Control and Analysis application to conduct average power measurements and comprehensive analyses seamlessly.
