Installation Instructions and User Guide
Power Sensor PWR-SEN-6G+

Introduction

Traditionally, when you want to measure power of a signal source like an oscillator,
frequency generator, mixer output or an amplifier you normally think of a bulky and
expensive bench top power meter for the task. Not any more. Mini-Circuits’ has developed a
Universal Serial Bus (USB) enabled Power Sensor PWR-SEN-6G+ that breaks a way from
that norm. In conjunction with a power data analysis software, the PWR-SEN-6G+ (Figure 1)
turns your laptop or desktop PC into an RF/Microwave power meter for measuring power of
continuous wave (CW) signals from 1 MHz to 6 GHz.

Figure 1: Mini-Circuits’ USB Power Sensor PWR-SEN-6G+ with a

50 Ohm type N (male) connector and a type N to SMA male adaptor

Capable of measuring true average power levels from -30 dBm to +20 dBm for signals i n the
1 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range, the PWR-SEN-6G+ offers a low cost replacement solution
for conventional RF/Microwave power meters with the benefits of data storage, portability,
post processing and Internet connectivity. Plus, unlike conventional bench top instruments,
no external power supply is needed and it does not require an y referenc e signal calibration.
As a result, it offers lighter weight, and makes field operation and installation easy and
simple. For attachment to a device under test (DUT), it offers a 50 Ohm N-type (male)
connector. Additionally, for connection flexibility, it also comes with a Type N to SMA male
adaptor (Figure 1). While the USB interface cable connects the power sensor to a notebook
or a PC with USB ports. In essence, it provides an easy plug-and-play USB connectivity to a
PC. And, thereby, eliminates the need for a separate conventional power meter.

Software Features (Power Meter)

User friendly, easy to install software, enables the user to record data and present it by:

Power Output vs. Time graph
Text file
Excel spreadsheet file

Measurements can be performed according to a time schedul e defined by the user.
The software also offers an option to define minimum and maximum limits of measurements,

defining ranges of interest, so that any deviation from defined limits is recorded and marked
with a tracer:

Power Output vs. Time graph will have red lines on the Power axis at defined limits.
Excel and Text files: any result which exceeds limit will be marked by an asterisk “*”.

external Attenuation on the line being tested. A check mark “” is put in the “Offset Val.”
box, see Figure 19, and Attenuation offset value is typed into the “Offset Val.” window.

Reset Connection: If the Power Sensor is unplugged from the USB port, to continue

taking readings, the Power Sensor should be plugged back into the USB port and click the
“Reset Connection” box, see Figure 19.

Add Sensor: This feature allows the user to work with more than one Power Sensor with

the same computer. While testing with one Power Sensor another Power Sensor may be
added by plugging the additional Power Sensor into a USB port and click the “Add Se nsor”
box. A list of Power Sensors connected to the computer will appear (listed under the Power
Sensor serial number), see Figure 20, the user should choose the appropri ate Power
Sensor.

Working with Multiple Power Sensors: In case the user works with more than one

Power Sensor, the software identifies all the Power Sensors connector to the computer by
the Power Sensor serial number and presents a list of Power Sensor, see Figure 20.

Figure 20: List of Multiple Power Sensors connected to computer

Selecting Power Sensors:

The user will select the desired Power Sensors per the serial number.

To use all Power Sensors connected, click “Select All”.

To use each of the Power Sensor at a different test frequency, the user must input the
desired frequency for each Power Sensor on the Main Screen (corresponding to each Power
Sensor). For ease of use, place a check mark “” in the “Compact View” box, see Figure 20.
