E4418B/9B EPM Series power meter performance characteristics
Specifications describe the instrument’s warranted performance and apply after a 30-minute warm-up. These specifications are valid over its operating/environmental range unless otherwise stated and after performing a zero and calibration procedure.
Supplemental characteristics (shown in italics) are intended to provide additional information, useful in applying the instrument by giving typical (expected), but not warranted performance parameters. These characteristics are shown in italics or labeled as “typical”, “nominal” or
“approximate”.
For information on measurement uncertainty calculations, refer to Application Note 64-1C, “Fundamentals of RF and Microwave Power Measurements”, literature number 5965-6380E.
Compatible power sensors: E4410 and E9300 E-Series, 8480 Series and N8480 Series average power sensors
Frequency range: 9 kHz to 110 GHz, sensor dependent
Power range: –70 dBm to +44 dBm (100 pW to 25 W), sensor dependent
Single sensor dynamic range:
90 dB maximum (E-Series sensors) 50 dB maximum (8480 Series sensors) 55 dB maximum (N8480 Series sensors)
Display units:
Absolute: Watts or dBm Relative: Percent or dB
Display resolution: Selectable resolution of 1.0, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001dB in Log mode, or 1 to 4 digits in linear mode
Default resolution: 0.01 dB in log mode, 3 digits in linear mode
Accuracy
Absolute: ±0.02 dB (log) or ±0.5%
(linear). Please add the corresponding power sensor linearity percentage from Tables 6, 9 and 10 (for the E-Series sensors), and Table 14 (for the 8480 Series sensors) to asses the overall system accuracy.
Relative accuracy: ±0.04 dB (log) or ±1.0% (linear). Please add the corresponding power sensor linearity percentage from Tables 6, 9 and 10 (for the E-Series sensors), and Table 14 (for the 8480 Series sensors) to asses the overall system accuracy.
Zero set (digital settability of zero):
Sensor dependent (refer to Table 1). For E-Series sensors, this specification applies to a zero performed when the sensor input is not connected to the POWER REF.
Zero drift of sensors: Sensor dependent, refer to Table 1. For E9300 sensors, refer to Table 11 for complete data.
Measurement noise: Sensor dependent, refer to Table 1 and Table 2. For E9300 sensors, refer to Table 11 for complete data.
Effects of averaging on noise: Averaging over 1 to 1024 readings is available for reducing noise. Table 1 provides the measurement noise for a particular sensor with the number of averages set at 16 (for normal mode) and 32 (for x2 mode). Use the noise multiplier, for the appropriate mode (normal or x2) and number of averages, to determine the total measurement noise value.
Example:
8481D power sensor, normal mode, number of averages = 4
Measurement noise calculation:
(<45 pW x 2.75) = <121 pW
*For specifications pertaining to the N8480 Series power sensors, please refer to the “Agilent N8480 Series Power Sensors Data Sheet”, literature number 5989-9333EN.

.
UK
Accuracy: For two years: ±0.5% (23 ± 3 °C) ±0.6% (25 ± 10 °C) ±0.9% (0 to 55 °C)
Frequency: 50 MHz nominal
SWR: 1.06 maximum
(1.08 maximum for Option 003)
Connector type: Type-N (f), 50
Measurement speed
Three measurement speed modes, over the GPIB, are available as shown, along with the typical maximum measurement speed for each mode.
With E4418B power meter Normal: 20 readings/second x2: 40 readings/second Fast: 200 readings/second
With E4419B power meter
Measurement speed is reduced, for example, with both channels in FAST mode, the typical maximum measurement speed is 100 readings /second.
Fast mode is for E-Series sensors only.
Maximum measurement speed is obtained using binary output and in free run trigger mode.

Zero: Zeros the meter. (Power reference calibrator is switched off during zeroing).
Cal: Calibrates the meter using internal (power reference calibrator) or external source. Reference cal factor settable from 1% to 150%, in
0.1% increments.
Frequency: Entered frequency range is used to interpolate the calibration factors table.
Range: 1 kHz to 999.9 GHz, settable in 1-kHz steps.
Cal factor: Sets the calibration factor for the meter. Range: 1% to 150%, in increments of 0.1%.
Relative: Displays all successive measurements relative to the last displayed value.
Offset: Allows power measurements to be offset by –100 dB to +100 dB, settable in 0.001-dB increments, to compensate for external loss or gain.
Save/recall: Store up to 10 instrument states via the save/recall menu.
dBm/W: Selectable units of either Watts or dBm in absolute power; or percent or dB for relative measurements.
Filter (averaging): Selectable from 1 to 1024. Auto-averaging provides automatic noise compensation.
Duty cycle: Duty cycle values between
0.001% to 99.999%, in increments of
0.001%, can be entered to display a peak power representation of measured power. The following equation is used to calculate the displayed peak power value: peak power = measured power/duty cycle.
Sensor cal tables: Selects cal factor versus frequency tables corresponding to specified sensors (8480 Series only).
Limits: High and low limits can be set in the range –150 dBm to +230 dBm, in
0.001-dBm increments.
Preset default values: dBm mode, rel off, power reference off, duty cycle off, offset off, frequency 50 MHz, AUTO average, free run, AUTO range (for E­Series and N8480 Series sensors).

lb) shipping
Rear panel connectors
Recorder outputs: Analog 0 to
1-Volt, 1-k output impedance, BNC connector. E4419B recorder outputs are dedicated to channel A and channel B.
Remote input/output: A TTL logic level is output when the measurement exceeds a predetermined limit. TTL inputs are provided to initiate zero and calibration cycles. RJ-45 series shielded modular jack assembly connector. TTL Output: high = 4.8 V max; low = 0.2 V max TTL
Input: high = 3.5 V min, 5 V max; low = 1 V max, –0.3 V min.
GPIB: Allows communication with an external controller.
RS-232/422: Allows communication with an external RS-232/422 controller. Male/plug 9 position D-subminiature connector.
Ground: Binding post, accepts 4-mm plug or bare-wire connection.
Line power
Input voltage range: 85 to 264 VAC,
automatic selection.
Input frequency range: 50 to 440 Hz. Power requirement: Approximately 50
