8480 Series Power Sensor Specifications
NOTE These specifications are valid with EPM and EPM-P Series of power meters.
The 8480 series thermocouple and diode power sensors provide accuracy, stability,
and SWR over a wide range of frequencies (100 kHz to 50 GHz) and power levels
(-70 dBm to +44 dBm)
* These uncertainties only apply to Option 033
