Some microwave power meters use a Diode in order to detect the power closuring at these high frequencies, others actually sense the heating of a resistor in order to avoid the non-linearities of a diode. Usually, a microwave power meter will consist of a measuring head which contains the actual power sensing element, and the meter itself, which reports the power reading. Different measuring heads can be used for different frequencies or power levels. Microwave power meters report the power in a wide band of frequencies - they are not frequency selective. To measure the power of a specific frequency component in the presence of other signals at different frequencies a Spectrum Analyzer or Measuring Receiver is needed. Power meters report the power in dBmW ( Decibel s relative to 1 milliwatt), dBW (decibels relative to 1 Watt ), watts, milliwatts, or microwatts. Manufacturers of microwave power meters include: Aeroflex , Agilent , Anritsu , Amitec , and Boonton Electronics . REFERENCES |
