Description
Gigatronics 8501A
The Giga-tronics 8500A Series Peak Power Meters combine CW power measurement with the ability to make precise peak power measurements
at any point on a pulsed waveform.
This dual, built-in capability lets you measure and
analyze pulsed waveforms
with a single instrument.
VITAL STATISTICS
8500A Series meters let
you view a pulsed waveform, along with critical
parameters, on a built-in
display.
A reference cursor pinpoints the precise measurement location on the
waveform with 100 ps resolution.
Precise sequential sampling lets you measure the same point on each pulse at over 70 measurements
meter for single-channel operation, or the Model Gigatronics 8501A meter for twochannel capability.
For tests on pulse modulators and pulsed TWTs, the Gigatronics 8501A can measure a CW signal on one channel and a pulsed signal on the other.
And the power reading from each sensor is independently corrected, automatically.

RESPONSE
CALIBRATION
Correcting for sensor frequency response is easy
and automatic.
Each sensor contains an EEPROM programmed with the frequency calibration factors measured at the factory, or in your cal lab.
When you key in the frequency at which power is being measured, the
meter automatically applies the correct cal factor
