The Keysight (Agilent) 8487D Diode Power Sensor supports high-precision average power measurements across a wide dynamic range of –70 dBm to –20 dBm and frequency coverage from 50 MHz to 50 GHz. Designed for compatibility with EPM, EPM-P, and P-series power meters, including legacy 437B, 438A, 70100A, and E1416A units, this sensor uses a diode sensing element for enhanced responsiveness. It features low SWR to minimize mismatch uncertainty and offers traceable calibration accuracy aligned with the US NIST millimeter-wave standards.
Engineered for complex signal environments—multi-tone, modulated, and high-harmonic carriers—the 8487D ensures reliable average power readings across advanced RF testing scenarios.
