Boonton 4500B RF Peak Power Analyzer
Maintenance 7-10
12. For Type N sensors, connect the K-Connector® to-N adapter and the 44-6 6-dB attenuator to
the Network Analyzer output.
13. For K-Connector® sensors, connect the 41KC-6 6 dB attenuator to the Network Analyzer
output.
14. Connect the appropriate calibrated reference sensor to the Network Analyzer output.
15. Set a reference on the EPM power meter at 0.00 dBm.
16. Select the table (Table 7-11 through 7-14) that corresponds to the peak power sensor type to
be tested and set the Network Analyzer to the test frequencies listed in the table.
17. For each test frequency, calculate the corrected power measurements using the NIST traceable
test data. Record the results in the ―Reference‖ column of the table.
18. Disconnect the calibrated reference sensor from the Network Analyzer output.
19. Tune the Network Analyzer to 1.0 GHz.
20. Connect the peak power sensor to the Network Analyzer output.
21. Set the Model 4500B frequency to 1.00 GHz by selecting Meas > Freq CH 1 > 1.00 GHz.
22. Adjust the Model 4500B using Chan 1 > Extensions > dB Offset until the Delta Marker
reads 0.00 dB.
23. Tune the Network Analyzer to the test frequencies listed in the selected table.
24. For each test frequency of the Network Analyzer, set the Model 4500B to the same frequency,
using the Meas > Freq CH 1 > ##.## GHz function.
25. For each test frequency, calculate the corrected power measurements by subtracting the
previously recorded calibrated power measurements in the ―Reference‖ column of the table
from the Avg. Marker measurement. Record the result in the ―Measured‖ column.
26. Disconnect the peak power sensor from the Network Analyzer output.
27. Repeat Steps 1 through 26, substituting Channel 2 for Channel 1.
