Description

General Information

Description

The N5532A is intended to be used with the N5531S or N5530S

Measuring Receiver System. It is essentially a power sensor with a

power splitter at the input. See Figure 1-1 on page 7. In use, the sensor

module's two output cables are connected to a power meter (E4418/19,

E4416/17, or N1911/12 Series) and the Performance Spectrum Analyzer

(PSA) RF Input. When using an N1911 or N1912 Series power meter, it

is necessary to use an adapter (N5532A Option 019) to connect the

output cable of the sensor module to the power meter. The sensor

module is calibrated such that the power meter indicates the power

supplied by the source under test.

The N5532A Sensor Module is offered in four frequency configurations:

• Option 504 covers 100 kHz to 4.2 GHz

• Option 518 covers 10 MHz to 18 GHz

• Option 526 covers 30 MHz to 26.5 GHz

• Option 550 covers 30 MHz to 50 GHz

(with adaptor 11903D 2.4mm(f) to Type N(m))

The sensor module accurately measures power levels from -20 dBm to

+30 dBm (10 µW to 1 W). Calibration Factor (Cal Factor) information is

unique to each sensor module and is supplied on a floppy disc included

with each N5532A. Please refer to “Installing the Calibration Factors”

on page 2-12 for more information on using the Cal Factor Data.

General Information

NOTE The N5532A Sensor Module is compatible ONLY with the newer

E4418/19, E4416/17, or N1911/12 Series power meters. They are NOT

compatible with the earlier 430 Series or 70100 power meters. If used

with an N1911/12 Series power meter, an adapter (N5532A Option 019)

is required to connect the dc cable to the power meter.

General Information

Instruments Covered by Manual

These instruments have a two-part serial number: the prefix (two

letters and the first four numbers), and the suffix (the last four

numbers). The two letters identify the country in which the unit was

manufactured. The four numbers of the prefix are a code identifying the

date of the last major design change incorporated in your Agilent

Technologies product. The four-digit suffix is a sequential number and

coupled with the prefix, provides a unique identification for each unit

produced. The contents of this manual apply directly to all serial

numbers unless otherwise indicated.
