Power Meter Accuracy Test
This test is intended for power meters used in testing the E5061A/E5062A. The “Dynamic
Accuracy Test” requires the use of a power meter that has been calibrated to a higher
accuracy than the standard power meter.
Power meters with options G12 and H12 specify an improved instrument accuracy over a
limited power range. (These power meters do not contain unique hardware.) A power
meter may be returned to the factory to have one of these options added to an existing
power meter or to renew the calibration for one of these options.
This test procedure is an alternative to returning the power meter to the factory. When a
power meter passes this test, it is considered to be calibrated for the G12 or H12 option
even though it has not been returned to the factory.
Power Meters That Can Be Tested Using This Procedure
This procedure assume that the E4419B power meter is being tested.
NOTEIt is recommended that the revision number for the power meter “Main Firmware” be
Ax.03.00 or higher.

The power meter accuracy is verified for various power inputs and the actual readings are
recorded in a test record. A range calibrator is used to provide the reference inputs.
NOTEIt is recommended that a copy of the test record on page 24 be made, and the values be
recorded on the copy, thus preserving the original for future use.

Step 4. Setup the digital voltmeter (DVM) as follows:
a. Reset the DVM: Press the blue key followed by Reset.
b. Set the sample period to a value greater than one second: Press NPLC, 5, 0, then Enter.
Step 5. Set the range calibrator controls as follows:
•POLARITY: NORMAL
•RANGE: 1 mW
Chapter 1 21
General Information
Required Equipment
•FUNCTION: CALIBRATE
Step 6. Allow the equipment to warm up for approximately 30 minutes. Do not change any
connections or control setting during this time.
Step 7. Zero and calibrate the power meter channel to which the range calibrator is connected:
a. The range calibrator’s RANGE switch should be set to 1 mW.
b. Set the range calibrator’s FUNCTION switch to STAN DBY.
c. Press [Zero/Cal], then Zero A or Zero B (as appropriate). Wait for the operation to
complete.
d. Set the range calibrator’s FUNCTION switch to CALIBRATE.
e. Press [Zero/Cal], Cal, then Cal A or Cal B (as appropriate). Wait for the operation to
complete.
Step 8. Monitor the drift rate of the power meter reading: Five minutes following calibration, the
meter must read 0.001, 0.000, or -0.001 dBm. If the power meter reading is not one of these
values, allow additional warm up time, then check the drift rate again. The range calibrator
must remain connected to the power meter during this warm up time.
Step 9. Zero and calibrate the power meter channel to which the range calibrator is connected:
NOTEAfter a channel on the power meter is calibrated, do not allow more than 5 minutes to
elapse before completing the remaining measurement steps for that channel.
a. The range calibrator’s RANGE switch should be set to 1 mW.
b. Set the range calibrator’s FUNCTION switch to STAN DBY.
c. Press [Zero/Cal], then Zero A or Zero B (as appropriate). Wait for the operation to be
completed.
d. Set the range calibrator’s FUNCTION switch to CALIBRATE.
e. Press [Zero/Cal], Cal, then Cal A or Cal B (as appropriate). Wait for the operation to
complete.
Step 10. Record the DVM voltage reading as value A in the test record on page 24.
NOTEAll DVM readings in this procedure should be recorded showing five significant digits.
Step 11. The reading on the power meter should be 0.000±0.001 dBm.
Step 12. Switch the range calibrator RANGE to 300 µW.
Step 13. Record the DVM voltage reading as value B in the test record.
Step 14. Wait for the power meter reading to settle (no settling drift withi n 20 seconds).
Step 15. Record the power meter reading as value C in the test record.
Step 16. Switch the range calibrator RANGE to 100 µW.
Step 17. Record the DVM voltage reading as value D in the test record.
Step 18. Wait for the power meter reading to settle (no settling drift withi n 20 seconds).
22Chapter 1
General Information
Required Equipment
Step 19. Record the power meter reading as value E in the test record.
Step 20. If testing a dual-channel power meter, perform Step 7 through Step 19 for the other
channel.
Step 21. Perform the pass/fail calculations indicated on the test record.
NOTEIf a channel of the power meter does not pass this test, the power meter cannot be used in
applications that require Option G12 or H12. There are no adjustments that can be
performed to improve the performance of the power meter. Typically, replacing the A6
measurement assembly associated with the failed channel will correct the problem.

Performance Tests
Introduction
Introduction
The performance tests for Agilent E5061A/E5062A make up the VBA performance test
software program. The software is included in the E5061A/E5062A Opt.0BW(add service
guide), it can not be ordered separately. This chapter shows how to run the software and
describes a brief test procedure to test the performance of the E5061A/E5062A. The
performance test names are listed in
NOTEAllow the analyzer to warm up for at least 30 minutes before you execute any of the
performance tests.
Perform all performance tests in an ambient temperature of 23 ± 5 °C
NOTEThe performance tests should be performed periodically. The recommended test interval is
12 months.
The test interval depends on maintenance of use and the environmental conditions under
which the instrument is used. You may find that the interval could be shortened or
lengthened; however, such a decision should be based on substantial quantitative data.
