RF Power Sensors Manager

The RF power sensors manager tool is used to control the RF power sensors defined in the setupm once the bench is initialized. It is accessible from the icon or from the shortcut located in Measurement > Hardware Control and once the bench is initialized.

Zeroing of all power sensors defined in the setup (Power Meter or RF power sensor matrix) can be performed by pressing .

On each power sensors, the frequency can be set to select the appropriated internal calibration.

Clicking on and to measure the RAW instantaneous power on each power sensors.

On each power sensors, correction can be added using :

  • Fixed Offset: set an offset if an attenuator/adaptor is added to the power sensor. This setting can also be used to calculate a peak power using an average power sensor.
  • File Offset: select the *.S2P file corresponding to the attenuator/adaptor added to the power sensor clicking on the icon or selecting a file included in the Files manager of IQSTAR through the icon
    Note: *.S2P file can be plotted using icon.
    Note: *.S2P file will be automatically interpolated if needed.
