Appendix B Model 2530 1GHz Calibrator
MODEL 2530 1 GHz CALIBRATOR
The Model 2530 operates as an optional accessory of the Model 4531 and 4532 RF Power Meters to provide calibration
and test signals at an output frequency of 1.024 GHz. The Model 2530 is controlled by the power meter through its
manual and remote programming systems and GPIB commands are defined for it. The 1.024 GHz calibrator is necessary
for sensors that cannot be calibrated at 50 MHz because of a higher low-frequency cutoff. It is also closer to commonly
used frequencies for telecom applications, and can reduce measurement uncertainty by requiring less interpolation of
sensor frequency calfactors. The Model 2530 calibrator must be conected to the 4530 powermeter using the supplied
RJ-11 control cable as shown in the diagram on the following page.
