Keysight U8488A USB Power Sensor
The Keysight U8488A USB Power Sensor is engineered for precision, offering a robust frequency range of up to 67 GHz. Ideal for fast and accurate power measurements, it excels in diverse applications, including PNA/MXG calibration and high-volume manufacturing environments.
Real-Time Measurement Uncertainty
This advanced USB thermocouple power sensor computes measurement uncertainty (MU) in real-time, eliminating the need for manual calculations. This innovative feature not only shortens testing duration but also ensures that measurements are highly accurate. Users can conveniently view power measurements alongside their measurement uncertainty.
S-Parameter and Gamma Correction
The U8488A incorporates S-parameter and gamma correction capabilities, significantly enhancing measurement accuracy by addressing impedance mismatch errors and compensating for disturbances caused by components placed between the Device Under Test (DUT) and the power sensor.
Direct Measurements from Your PC
Equipped with the N1918A Power Panel Software at no extra cost, the U8488A allows users to perform measurements directly from their PC. For those requiring additional functionalities, the N1918A Power Analysis Manager Software is available for purchase separately.
