GPIB

For Measuring Power in Quasi-Millimeter and Millimeter Wave Bands

POWER METER

ML4803A

100 kHz to 90 GHz

The ML4803A consists of an indicator, which displays the detected
electric signals as the power, and power sensors, which detect pow­er and convert it to electric signals. Several types of power sensors
are provided for accurately measuring power in a frequency range of
100 kHz to 90 GHz. The ML4803A has various functions to meet all
power measurement requirements, from low frequency to super-high
frequency such as the millimeter waveband.

Features

•

Abundant functions

(1) Three measurement modes
The ML4803A can measure absolute values in units of “W” or “dBm”
in addition to relative values in units of “dB” or “%” . When return loss
is measured in absolute value measurement, VSWR can also be dis­played.
(2) Automatic sensor sensitivity correction
The sensitivity of coaxial power sensor is corrected automatically by
a one-touch operation using the built-in calibration oscillator.

• Excellent operability and efficient measurement with memory

function

(1) The corrections required in measurements (calibration coefficient,

corrected value of attenuation or gain and reference value in rela­tive measurements) can be easily set using the rotary encoder.

(2) Since the amount of correction for 30 points corresponding to

measured frequencies can be stored beforehand, it need not be
set each time the measured frequency changes. This function im­proves measurement efficiency.

(3) The amount of correction set is retained even when the power

supply is turned off.

• Three power supplies

The ML4803A can be operated on AC, DC, or batteries and can
therefore be used anywhere.

• Super-wide coaxial-type amorphous sensors

(1) Supper-wide band: 100 kHz to 32 GHz
(2) Wide dynamic range: –30 to +20 dBm
(3) Low VSWR and high response speed
(4) 75 Ω power sensor is provided
The amorphous detection element is field-replaceable.

• Diode sensor suitable for low-level and wide-band measure-

ments

(1) Wide band: 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz
(2) Low-level measurement: –70 to –20 dBm
(3) Compact and lightweight
(4) 75 Ω power sensor

• Quasi-millimeter and millimeter waves can also be measured.

The conventional waveguide-type power sensors can be used by con­necting them to the ML4803A using adapter MA4002A/B.
