ML4803A
100 kHz to 90 GHz

For Measuring Power in Quasi-Millimeter and Millimeter Wave Bands

GPIB
The ML4803A consists of an indicator, which displays the detected electric signals as the power, and power sensors, which detect power and convert it to electric signals. Several types of power sensors are provided for accurately measuring power in a frequency range of 100 kHz to 90 GHz. The ML4803A has various functions to meet all power measurement requirements, from low frequency to super-high frequency such as the millimeter waveband. (2) Since the amount of correction for 30 points corresponding to measured frequencies can be stored beforehand, it need not be set each time the measured frequency changes. This function improves measurement efficiency. (3) The amount of correction set is retained even when the power supply is turned off. Three power supplies The ML4803A can be operated on AC, DC, or batteries and can therefore be used anywhere.

(1) Three measurement modes The ML4803A can measure absolute values in units of W or dBm in addition to relative values in units of dB or % . When return loss is measured in absolute value measurement, VSWR can also be displayed. (2) Automatic sensor sensitivity correction The sensitivity of coaxial power sensor is corrected automatically by a one-touch operation using the built-in calibration oscillator. function (1) The corrections required in measurements (calibration coefficient, corrected value of attenuation or gain and reference value in relative measurements) can be easily set using the rotary encoder.

Features Abundant functions

Super-wide coaxial-type amorphous sensors (1) Supper-wide band: 100 kHz to 32 GHz (2) Wide dynamic range: 30 to +20 dBm (3) Low VSWR and high response speed (4) 75 power sensor is provided The amorphous detection element is field-replaceable.
ments (1) Wide band: 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz (2) Low-level measurement: 70 to 20 dBm (3) Compact and lightweight (4) 75 power sensor

Diode sensor suitable for low-level and wide-band measure-

Excellent operability and efficient measurement with memory

Quasi-millimeter and millimeter waves can also be measured.

The conventional waveguide-type power sensors can be used by connecting them to the ML4803A using adapter MA4002A/B.
