Description
Product Overview
For RF and microwave power measurement, the Keysight W8486A combines frequency range: 75 to 110 GHz, power range: −30 to +20 dBm, interface: WR-10 Waveguide Flange, measurement type: average power, and sensing technology: Diode power detection in a w-band waveguide power sensor platform. It is part of the 8480 Series Diode and Waveguide Power Sensors. It can also be evaluated for wireless device characterization and calibration and production testing. Exact options, interfaces, accessories, calibration scope, and regional availability depend on the ordered configuration and should be confirmed before purchase.
