The Agilent/Keysight ECP-18A is a diode power sensor for measuring average power in continuous wave (CW) signals across RF and microwave frequencies. Engineered for engineers, system integrators, and laboratories, it delivers accurate power characterization with a 90 dB dynamic range and excellent SWR performance to minimize mismatch uncertainty.
Technical Specifications
• Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 18 GHz
• Power Range: −70 dBm to +20 dBm
• Dynamic Range: 90 dB
• Connector: Type-N (m)
• Measurement Type: Average power (CW signals)
• Measurement Speed: Up to 400 readings per second (with E4416A power meter)
– Key Features
• EEPROM-stored calibration factors with linearity and temperature compensation data for error correction
• Low SWR design reduces source and sensor mismatch errors
