Designed For Today’s Demanding
Applications
Today’s complex electronic devices have stringent
power requirements. Agilent P-Series power meters
and sensors deliver the wide bandwidth and high
performance measurements that you need to be confident
that your products are meeting their power specifications.
The P-Series power meters have a 30 MHz video bandwidth
and 100 M-sample/s continuous sampling rate for fast,
accurate, and repeatable power measurements. When
these meters are used with the P-Series wideband power
sensors, they provide up to 40 GHz frequency coverage,
wide dynamic range, and extensive measurement
capability that has been optimized for aerospace/defense,
wireless communication, and wireless networking (IEEE
802.11a/b/g) applications.
The P-Series power meters is now LXI (LAN eXtensions
for Instrumentation) Class-C compliant instrument which
combines the advantages of Ethernet with simplicity and
familiarity of GPIB. This helps the test systems designers
and integrators to create a faster and more efficient
systems. With the power of ethernet, the P-Series power
meters reduces the time needed to setup, configure and
debug test systems.
Packed with capability
When you choose the P-Series power meters and sensors,
you get best-in-class pulse analysis and peak power mea-
surement specifications.
A high-performance, 14-bit, 100 M-sample/s measurement
engine drives the P-Series power meters, so you can
capture single-shot as well as repetitive events over a
wide bandwidth. For applications such as radar testing
that require accurate pulse measurements, the power
meter and sensor combination has ≤ 13 ns warranted rise
and fall time performance.
With up to 30 MHz of video bandwidth, the P-Series
gives you a single-instrument solution for testing wide
bandwidth products such as the multi-carrier power
amplifiers used in the newest wireless base stations.
Bandwidth flatness is corrected to 0.1 dB over the
30 MHz bandwidth for highly accurate peak power
measurements.
Comprehensive power, time, and statistical
measurements
1
The P-Series power meters and sensors offer
comprehensive measurements that satisfy the
requirements of many power applications in R&D
and manufacturing.
• Peak power, min power, average power, and
peak- to -average ratio power measurements
• Time-gated and free-run measurement modes
• Automatic rise time, fall time, pulse width, pulse
period, duty cycle, time to positive occurrence, and
time to negative occurrence time measurements
• Auto scale and auto gate of pulse
• Complementary cumulative distribution function
(CCDF) statistics
PC-based measurement software (N1918A)

adds even
more pulse-parameter and statistical analysis capability,
for performance approaching that of a traditional peak
power analyzer.
Flexible configurations
With the P-Series products, you can choose a
configuration that’s right for your application:
P-Series power meters
N1911A single-channel power meter,
9 kHz to 110 GHz (sensor-dependent)
N1912A dual-channel power meter,
9 kHz to 110 GHz (sensor-dependent)
P-Series power sensors
N1921A wideband power sensor,
50 MHz to 18 GHz
N1922A wideband power sensor,
50 MHz to 40 GHz
The P-Series power meters are also compatible with all
8480 Series, E-Series and N8480 Series sensors.
