02 | Keysight | P-Series Power Meters and P-Series Wideband Power Sensors – Configuration Guide

Introduction

This configuration guide describes standard configurations, options and compatible

accessories. Contact your local Keysight Technologies, Inc. representative for additional

information.

P-Series Power Meters

The P-Series power meters provide peak, average, peak-to-average ratio power measurements,

time-gated and free run modes, rise time, fall time and pulse width measurements.

The P-Series power meters are compatible with the 8480, E-Series and new P-Series power

sensors. The P-Series power meters have a different sensor input connector than the EPM and

EPM-P Series power meters, so it is necessary to use adapter cables. These adapter cables

come in three different lengths. When using the 8480 or E-Series sensors, refer to the Cable

Accessories section in this guide. For additional information, refer to the Literature References

section.

The standard P-Series power meters include:

– Single-channel power meter, order N1911A or dual-channel power meter, order N1912A

– Input sensor connector(s) on the front panel

– Reference calibrator (1 mW, 50 MHz) connector on the front panel

– Documentation CD-ROM

– Keysight Instrument Control DVD

– IO libraries suite

– Command expert

– BenchVue software platform

– 30-day free trial of BenchVue power meter/sensor control and analysis app

– Supplied accessories: power cord (plug matches country destination requirements)

– USB adapter cable (part number 8121-1583, Cable-Assembly 4Pin-5Pin Male USB 2000

mm-LG)

P-Series Wideband Power Sensors

The P-Series wideband power sensors are designed specifically for operation with the P-Series

power meters for wide bandwidth power and time measurements. These sensors are the only

Keysight power sensors that have their cable permanently wired (hard-wired) into the sensor.

This provides better wide bandwidth specifications compared to having a removable cable.

Refer to the Sensor Cable Lengths section in this guide for part number and cable length

information.

The standard P-Series power sensors include:

– Power sensor 50 MHz to 18 GHz, order N1921A

– Power sensor 50 MHz to 40 GHz, order N1922A

– Documentation CD-ROM

1. The Installation Guide is in English, French, and Japanese languages (part number N1912-90009).

03 | Keysight | P-Series Power Meters and P-Series Wideband Power Sensors – Configuration Guide

Compatibility

Power sensor compatibility

The P-Series power meters are compatible with all current (N)8480, E-Series and

P-Series power sensors. Refer to the Accessories section, P-Series meter cable adaptors

N1917A/B and C.

Connector options for P-Series power meters

The following options are available on the P-Series power meters. 1

Table 1. Connector options for P-Series power meters.

Option Description

N1911A-003 Rear panel sensor and power reference connectors (single channel)

N1912A-003 Rear panel sensor and power reference connectors (dual channel)

Video output option (H01)

The video output provides a DC voltage proportional to the measured input power through a

BNC connector on the rear panel. The DC voltage can be displayed on an oscilloscope for time

measurement. This option replaces the recorder output on the rear panel. The video output

impedance is 50 Ω.

– Video rise time: 13 ns

– Frequency range: 50 MHz to 40 GHz 2

1. The P-Series power meters are configured for either front panel connectors (both sensor and power

reference) or rear panel connectors. There are no options for parallel front and rear panel sensor inputs.

2. Need to turn off the auto-zero feature; otherwise, this will appear as a glitch in the video output signal.

Keysight BenchVue software

Keysight BenchVue software for the PC accelerates testing by providing intuitive, multiple

instrument measurement visibility and data capture with no programming necessary. You

can derive answers faster than ever by easily viewing, capturing and exporting measurement

data and screen shots. The N1911A/12A Power Meters are supported by Keysight BenchVue

software’s BV0007B Power Meter/Sensor Control and Analysis app.
