Used Keysight / Agilent U8488A USB Thermocouple Power Sensor, 10 MHz - 67 GHz

Product Highlights

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.

Measurements direct from your PC

The U8480 series is supported by the Keysight BenchVue software. BenchVue makes it easy to control your power meter to log data and visualize measurements in a wide array of display options without any programming. Simply connect the sensor to your PC installed BenchVue BV0007B Power Meter/Sensor Control and Analysis app to perform average power measurement and analysis.
