Description
The E4412A and E4413A power sensors are diode power sensors. They are
intended for measurement of CW microwave power levels in a wide
dynamic range from −70 dBm to +20 dBm (100 pW to 100 mW). The
E4412A measures at frequencies from 10 MHz to 18.0 GHz. The E4413A
measures at frequencies from 50 MHz to 26.5 GHz. These are high-speed
power sensors, and do not incorporate narrow-bandwidth averaging used in
average-power sensors. Signals with digital, pulse, or other forms of ampli
tude modulation may introduce measurement errors. Multi-tone signals
(containing multiple frequency components), or signals with significant harmonic content (> −45 dBc) may introduce measurement errors at high power
levels. (Specifications for the power sensors are in Table 1.)

Figure 2 Relative Mode Power Measurement Linearity
with Power Meter/Sensor at 25° C (Typical)
The chart in Figure 2 shows the typical uncertainty in making a relative
power measurement with the E44XX-Series power meter in the Rel (relative) mode. In a relative measurement, two power levels are compared using
a single sensor. The typical measurement uncertainty can be found by drawing a vertical line at the power level used as a reference, and a horizontal line
at the power being measured. The region where these two lines intersect
shows the typical uncertainty. This assumes that the reference power and the
measured power are at the same frequency, and neglects errors due to zero
set, zero drift, and noise. It also assumes no change in mismatch when mea

General Information
suring the “Power level used as reference” and the “Power level being measured.” This chart illustrates that the best relative power measurement
accuracy is obtained when the reference and the measured power levels are
equal to, or less than, −20 dBm. Care in choosing the power levels can yield
improved measurement accuracy. Example A illustrates a relative gain
(amplifier measurement) and example B illustrates a relative loss (insertion
loss measurement).
EXAMPLE A (Amplifier Gain Measurement):
Input power (reference) = −35 dBm; power measured = +6 dBm, so the relative gain is +41 dB. The chart indicates a typical error of ±6%, which corresponds to +0.25 dB/ −0.27 dB uncertainty in the gain measurement.
EXAMPLE B (Insertion Loss Measurement):
Reference power = −25 dBm; power measured = −35 dBm, for the case of an
insertion loss of 10 dB. The chart indicates a typical error of ±1%, which
corresponds to
± 0.04 dB uncertainty in the measurement.
Calibration Factor (CF) and Reflection Coefficient (Rho)
Calibration factor and reflection coefficient data are given at 1 GHz increments on a data sheet included with the power sensor. This data is unique to
each sensor. If you have more than one sensor, match the serial number on
the data sheet with the serial number on the power sensor you are using. The
CF corrects for the frequency response of the sensor. The power meter auto
matically reads the CF data stored in the sensor and uses it to make the corrections.
Reflection Coefficient (Rho, or ρ) relates to SWR according to the following
formula:
SWR = (1+ρ)/(1-ρ)
Maximum uncertainties of the CF data are listed in Table 2 for the E4412A
power sensor, and in Table 3 for the E4413A power sensor. The uncertainty
analysis for the calibration of the sensors was done in accordance with the
ISO/TAG4 Guide. The uncertainty data reported on the calibration certificate is the expanded uncertainty with 95% confidence level and a coverage
factor of 2.

Operation and Service Guide
Service
Service
Service instructions consist of principles of operation, troubleshooting, and
repairs.
Principles of Operation
The A1 Bulkhead assembly provides a 50 ohm load to the RF signal applied
to the power sensor. A diode assembly in the bulkhead rectifies the applied
RF to produce a dc voltage which varies with the RF power across the 50
ohm load. Thus the voltage varies with the RF power dissipated in the load.
With maximum specified RF power (100 mW) the dc voltage is approximately 1V.
The low-level dc voltage from the bulkhead assembly must be amplified
before it can be transferred on standard cables to the power meter. The
amplification is provided by an input amplifier assembly which consists of a
chopper (sampling gate) and an input amplifier. The chopper circuit converts
the dc voltage to an ac voltage. To do this, the chopper uses two field effect
transistors (FETs), A2Q1 and A2Q2, controlled by a 440 Hz square wave
generated by the power meter. The amplitude of the sampling gate output
(drain of A2Q1, source of A2Q2) is a 440 Hz square wave which varies with
the RF power input. The 440 Hz ac output is applied to the input amplifier
A2Q3 which provides the input to the first amplifier stage in the power
meter.
The E44XX-Series power meter automatically detects when an E44XXSeries power sensor is connected and downloads the correction data from the
sensor’s EEPROM. This configures the power meter to operate over the +20
dBm to −70 dBm power range with that particular sensor’s unique correction
data applied.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting information is intended to first isolate the power sensor, the
cable, or the power meter as the defective component. When the power sen
sor is isolated, a “Restored Sensor Module” must be used for repair. See
Table 6.
24
-
Operation and Service Guide
Service
If error message 241 or 310 is indicated on the power meter, suspect a failed
power sensor. If no error message is displayed, but a problem occurs when
making a measurement, try replacing the cable from the power meter to the
power sensor. If the problem still exists, try using a different power sensor to
determine if the problem is in the power meter or in the power sensor.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge will render the power sensor inoperative. Do not, under any
circumstances, open the power sensor unless you and the power sensor are in a static
free environment.
Repair of Defective Sensor
There are no serviceable parts inside the E44XX-Series sensors. If the sensor
is defective, replace the entire “module” with the appropriate “Restored Sensor Module.” See Table 6.
Cleaning
Cleaning Solutions
Keeping in mind its flammable nature; a solution of pure isopropyl or ethyl
alcohol can be used to clean the connector.
Connector Cleaning
CAUTION: The RF connector beads deteriorate when contacted by hydrocarbon compounds
such as acetone, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, and benzene.
CAUTION: Clean the connector only at a static free workstation. Electrostatic discharge to the
center pin of the connector will render the power sensor inoperative.
Clean the connector face using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. If
the swab is too big use a round wooden toothpick wrapped in a lint free cotton cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Refer to Agilent Application Note
326, Principals of Microwave Connector Care (5954-1566) or Microwave
Connector Care (08510-90064) for proper cleaning methods.
