HP 8487D

The HP 8487D diode power sensor is designed for use with the HP 435B, 436A, 437B, 438A, 70100A, E1416A and EPM series power meters and provides extraordinary accuracy and stability. The HP 8487D power sensor measures the average power over its entire -70 to -20 dBm dynamic range which gives you accurate readings even if your test signal is subjected to multitone environments, modulated carriers, or carriers with high harmonics. You also get extremely low SWR at mm-wave frequencies, and it's traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Features:

• Excellent SWR for reducing mismatch uncertainty
• Accurate readings of Average Power
• 50 MHz calibration port
• Accurate calibration and traceability to NIST millimeter-wave sensor calibration
• Accessories included for accuracy optimization and customer convenience
