Keysight E9326A – Peak/Average Power Sensor (50 MHz – 18 GHz; 1.5 MHz Video Bandwidth)

• Peak and average power sensor
• Frequency range: 50 MHz to 18 GHz
• Video bandwidth: 1.5 MHz
• Ideal for time-gated peak, average, and peak-to-average ratio power measurements on TDMA and CDMA wireless formats such as Bluetooth

The E-Series E9320 power sensors have two frequency ranges. The E9325A, E9326A, and E9327A have a frequency range of 50 MHz to 18 GHz while the 50 MHz to 6 GHz range of the E9321A, E9322A, and E9323A covers most wireless communication applications.

• E9321A and E9325A sensors with 300 kHz bandwidth are suitable for measuring TDMA signals such as GSM
• E9322A and E9326A sensors with 1.5 MHz bandwidth are suitable for measuring IS-95 CDMA signals
• E9323A and E9327A sensors with 5 MHz bandwidth are suitable for measuring W-CDMA signals

The E9320 power sensors have two measurement ranges (lower and upper).

1 For average power measurements, free run acquisition.

2 Applies to CW and constant amplitude signals only above -20 dBm.

Use the default normal path for continuously sampled measurements of modulated signals and time-gated measurements. For each frequency range, there is a choice of sensors with three videos (modulation) bandwidths.

Note, however, that the sensors with the widest bandwidth have the smallest dynamic range (in normal mode). If the dynamic range is an important factor, use the sensor model with just enough video bandwidth for the measurement you want to make.

The average-only path is suitable for average power measurements of Continuous Wave (CW) and constant amplitude signals between –65 dBm (sensor dependent) and +20 dBm. The average-only path can also be used to measure the true average power of any complex modulated signal below –20 dBm.

Calibration factors, linearity, temperature, and bandwidth compensation data are stored in the sensor EEPROM during the manufacturing process. All the compensation data is downloaded to the EPM-P Series power meter at power-on or when the sensor is connected. You only need to enter the frequency of the RF signal you are measuring to achieve a high degree of accuracy.
