U8488A 10 MHz – 67 GHz USB Thermocouple Power Sensor

• Frequency range of 10 MHz to 67 GHz
• Fastest measurement speed for thermocouple sensor, > 900 readings/s (free run/fast buffer mode)
• Best-in-class power linearity of less than 0.8%
• Wide dynamic range from -35 dBm to +20 dBm
• Real time measurement uncertainty (MU) feature
• S-parameter and gamma correction function
• Accurate calibration and traceability to US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) or National Physical Laboratory (NPL)
• A BenchVue software license (BV0007B) is now included with your instrument. BenchVue makes it simple to connect, control instruments, and automate test sequences

Perform measurements up to 67 GHz

The U8480 series is Keysight’s first power sensor with the capability to measure down to DC (only applicable for U8481A/85A). Now, with an expanded frequency range up to 50 and 67 GHz, the U8480 series allows you to make fast and accurate high frequency power measurements in applications ranging from PNA/MXG calibration to high volume manufacturing.

Real time measurement uncertainty

The U8480 Series USB thermocouple power sensors now compute this value in real time and at any given point, removing the need for manual MU calculations, shortening test time and providing highly accurate measurements. Users can also display power measurements and their measurement uncertainty simultaneously.

S-parameter and Gamma correction

Achieve greater accuracy with the S-parameter and gamma correction features, which correct impedance mismatch errors as well as the errors caused by components inserted between the DUT and power sensor.
