NOTE The 11708A 30 dB attenuator is intended for use only at the 1 mW, 50 MHz power
reference of the power meter. Its function as a calibration reference may be
compromised if used for other purposes.
26.5 GHz and 33 GHz Frequency operation (8485A, 8485A-033, 8485D and
8485D-033)
8480 series sensors that operate up to 26.5 GHz and 33 GHz are fitted with
APC-3.5mm (m) connectors as standard. To convert the APC-3.5mm (m) connector
for calibration an adapter (APC-3.5 (f) to Type-N (m)) is included with the power
sensors. Figure 1-4 shows the parts included with your power sensor.
NOTE The APC-3.5mm to Type-N adapter is intended for use only at the 1 mW, 50 MHz
power reference of the power meter. Its function as a calibration reference may be
compromised if used for other purposes.
