DATA SHEE T N1911A/N1912A P-Series Power Meters and N1921A/N1922A Wideband Power SensorsLXI Class-C-Compliant Power Meter A P-Series power meter is a LXI Class-C-compliant instrument, Characteristic information is representative of the product. developed using LXI Technology. LXI, an acronym for LAN In many cases, it may also be supplemental to a warranted eXtension for Instrumentation, is an instrument standard specification. Characteristic specifications are not verified on all for devices that use the Ethernet (LAN) as their primary units. There are several types of characteristic specifications. communicationinterface. These types can be placed in two groups: Hence, it is an easy-to-use instrument especially with the usage One group of characteristic types describes attributes of an integrated Web browser that provides a convenient way to common to all products of a given model or option. Examples configure theinstruments functionality. of characteristics that describe attributes are product weight, and 50 ohm input Type-N connector. In these examples product The P-Series power meters are supported by the Keysight weight is an approximate value and a 50ohm input is nominal.

BenchVue software The second group describes statistically the aggregate license (BV0007B) is now included with your instrument. performance of the population of products. These characteristics describe the expected behavior of the population of products. For more information, www.keysight.com/find/BenchVue They do not guarantee the performance of any individual product. No measurement uncertainty value is accounted for in the specification. These specifications are referred to as typical. Specification definitions There is one type of product specifications: Conditions Warranted specifications are specifications which are The power meter and sensor will meet its specifications when: covered by the product warranty and apply over 0 to 55 C Stored for a minimum of two hours at a stable temperature unless otherwise noted. Warranted specifications include within the operating temperature range, and turned on for at measurement uncertainty calculated with a 95% confidence. least 30 minutes Characteristic specifications are specifications that are not The power meter and sensor are within their recommended warranted. They describe product performance that is useful calibration period, and in the application of the product. Used in accordance to the information provided in the User s Guide. General features Number of channels N1911A P-Series power meter, single channel N1912A P-Series power meter, dual channel Frequency range N1921A P-Series wideband power sensor, 50 MHz to 18 GHz N1922A P-Series wideband power sensor, 50 MHz to 40 GHz Measurements Average, peak and peak-to-average ratio power measurements are provided with free-run or time-gated definitions. Time parameter measurements of pulse rise time, fall time, pulse width, time-to-positive occurrence and time-to-negative occurrence are also provided. Sensor compatibility P-Series power meters are compatible with all Keysight Technologies, Inc. P-Series wideband power sensors, E-Series sensors, 8480 Series sensors and N8480 Series sensors1. Compatibility with the 8480 and E-Series power sensors will be available free-of-charge in firmware release Ax.03.01 and above.
