Product Description:
The Boonton 4500B 30 MHz to 40 GHz peak Power analyzer is the instrument of choice for capturing, displaying, analyzing and characterizing RF power in the time and statistical domains. The 4500B power meter has two basic measurement modes - pulse power and modulated power. In pulsed power mode, the 4500B can be used as an enhanced peak power analyzer, capable of viewing the RF envelope of signal frequencies up to 40 GHz. The RF frequency range and detection bandwidth naturally depend on the sensor model. The Boonton 4500B has a built-in 1 GHz step calibrator that improves measurement accuracy by performing automatic routine calibration of connected Boonton sensor models. The calibration process can be performed by connecting the peak power sensor to the calibrator output terminal of the Boonton 4500B peak power meter. This application note describes various uses and applications of the internal calibrator of the Boonton 4500B power meter.
