Luke, After your message, I had to go to Agilent's website to check that out. At the time I researched this (admittedly, a few years ago), the lowest frequency they had was 100kHz. The sensor you mentioned is 9kHz to 6GHz, and the only one they have that goes below 100kHz. The dynamic range is much better than the R&S sensor I mentioned. http://we.home.agilent.com/USeng/nav/-536888370.0/pc.html The 4419B is an excellent power meter as well. Thanks for the info. Bob.

The equipment that we have is an E4419B Power meter with E9304A probes. Hope this helps, Luke Turnbull >>> Bob Richards 07/09/2004 02:52:04 >>> Derek, The only power meter/sensor combo that I know of that will measure down to 10kHz and -30 dBm is the Rohde & Schwarz NRVD (dual channel) and NRVS (single channel) with a NRV-Z51 sensor. The sensor has a range from -30dBm to +20dBm. Keep in mind that measuring at the bottom end of the sensor's range will take more time to settle, and you will need to zero the sensor often. There may be other model sensors from R&S that will work for you. You might try looking at Boonton. I think they hav! e some RF voltage sensors that may go down that low. The sampling-tee is also a good idea. You can also use a spectrum analyzer instead of a power meter to measure the power from the directional coupler. Bob Richards, NCT Square D.

The signal from the diredctional coupler is quite small, around -20dBm, and my current power meter sensor is on the limits of it's range. Can anyone suggest a power sensor for use with the HP 437B ideally, that can measure down to -30 dBm and at least 10 dBm, with a freq range of 10 kHz to 400 MHz? If no such sensor exists ( and I've not found one... ), can anyone suggest a power meter/sensor combination. I only need a single channel, but two channels would be OK too. Thanks, -- Derek N.
