Consumer electronics manufacturers find it very difficult to validate antenna performance of a device-under-test (DUT) after the assembly is completed. It's challenging to find an affordable power sensor that provides broadband frequency and power level coverage. The Power Master at nearly the size of a smart phone can free up workbench space while offering a more affordable solution. P/N: 11410-02899.

Wireless technology connects our smartphones to the world using multiple cellular technologies, delivers internet connectivity through Wi-Fi connections, streams high fidelity audio to Bluetooth earbuds, connects our first responders with Land Mobile Radio handsets, and provides television and radio from terrestrial broadcast transmitters and satellites. Legitimate owners of RF spectrum need to monitor this resource to ensure that network integrity is maintained. When interfering signals are detected, it is important to detect, locate, and identify the source as fast as possible. This application note covers this problem and offers a solution using the Field Master. P/N: 11410-02869

Power calibrations to the probe tip can be critical for measuring some active devices. This is why processes exist to perform user power calibration with traceable sensors. Knowledge of the probe and adapters reassures an accurate transfer from the sensor interface to the probe tip. The process varies when there is a change in the probes magnitude of power. The frequencies involved can exceed several dB at 200+ GHz. This application note will guide the reader on how to perform power calibrations at the probe tip and cover our general philosophy.
