The Anritsu Family of Pulse, Wideband and
CW Power Meters, and Power Sensors
ML2400A Power Meters and MA2400A/D Power Sensors
Ideal solutions for Average, Peak, and Crest Power measurements
Anritsu Power Meters and Power Sensors:
Accurate, Fast, and
Affor
dable.
Introduction
Anritsu offers the world's most comprehensive range of power meters. The ML2490A series has the performance required
or narrow fast rising-edge pulse power measurements (e.g., radar), while the ML2480A series is suited for Wideband power
f
easurements on signals such as W-CDMA, WLAN, and WiMAX. The ML2430A series of power meters are designed for
m
CW applications, offering a combination of accuracy, speed and flexibility in a low cost package.
lso available are five different families of power sensors with frequency coverage to 50 GHz and dynamic range up to 90 dB.
A
Most of the power sensors can work in either pulsed/modulated or CW mode (the ML2480/90A series meters offer both modes).
n choosing a power sensor, several factors must be considered, including: frequency range, dynamic range and the modulation.
I
The rise time of the sensor should also be chosen to match the rise time of the modulation.

Power measurement accuracy can be split into several parts.
he table below shows how the measurement uncertainty is
T
omposed for several power sensors. The source is presumed
c
to be a 16 GHz, 12.0 dBm signal with a source SWR of
1.5:1.
The uncertainties can be calculated as an RSS term as each

together for a worst-case analysis.

Mismatch is easily calculated in either dB or percentage terms from the source’s and
ensor’s respective reflection coefficients.
s
The source match of the device under test can be improved
by the use of precision attenuators with good return loss or
by the use of external levelling with a high directivity
coupler or splitter.
Connector damage has significant accuracy and repeatability effects, and is also the most common cause of sensor
damage – although it is frequently undetected. Every
MA2400A/D Series includes a hex nut connection for
application of a calibrated torque wrench. Torque wrenches
assure compliance with the quality requirement and result in
more consistent measurements.
Sensor calibration factor uncertainty identifies the accuracy
of the sensor's calibration relative to a recognized standard for
absolute power level. Sensor calibration factor uncertainty is
included in accuracy calculations for any absolute power
measurement (in dBm or Watts) and for relative power
measurements if the signals are different frequencies.
Sensor linearity describes the relative response over the
dynamic range of the sensor, and is included when the sensor is measuring power levels relative to the 0 dBm calibrator reference level. Temperature linearity is included when
operating the sensor at other than room temperature.
Noise, Zero Set and Drift are all measured on the lowest
power range of the power sensor. Different types of power
sensors have different noise characteristics. Noise can be
reduced by averaging.
Mismatch uncertainty is typically the largest component of
the uncertainty budget – caused by the different impedances
of the device under test and the sensor. To help resolve this
issue, the sensor has been designed to have a good return
loss over a wide frequency range, typically achieving
significantly better results than the specification. In many
cases the major contributing factor is the match of the
source under test.
ML2400A Series is NIST traceable for more accurate, dependable measurements.
Reference power uncertainty specifies the maximum
possible output drift of the power meter's 50 MHz,
power reference between calibration intervals.
dBm
0.0
Reference power uncertainty and reference to sensor
mismatch uncertainty do not generally impact relative
power measurements.
See the Anritsu website (www.anritsu.com) for more
information and tool to calculate measurement uncertainties.
