Keysight N1911A, N1912A P Series 1-/2-Channel RF Power Meter
The Keysight N1911A and N1912A P series power meters are LXI Class-C compliant instruments. Hence, they are easy-to-use especially with the integrated web browser that provides a convenient way to configure the instruments' functionality. The P series power meters are supported by the Keysight BenchVue software and BV0007B power meter/sensor control and analysis app. BenchVue makes it easy to control your power meter to log data and visualize measurements in a wide array of display options without any programming. A BenchVue software license (BV0007B) is included with your instrument. When used with the N192xA wideband power sensors, the N191xA P series power meters provide a measurement frequency range from 50 MHz to 40 GHz with an internal zero and calibration capability.
- Average triggering for average power measurement.
- 30 MHz video bandwidth.
- Single shot real time capture at 100 MS/s.
- Key measurements: Peak, average, peak-to-average ratio, rise time, fall time and pulse width.
- 22 predefined formats: WiMAX, DME, HSDPA, etc.
- One screen view for pulse measurement analysis: Auto scale, auto gate, rise/fall time, duty cycle, etc.
- Internal zeroing and calibration while connecting to the DUT.
- High Speed Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) statistical analysis.
- Difference and ratio math functions: (A-B, B-A, A/B and B/A).
- Compatible with the industry standard 8480 and E series sensors which provide a wide dynamic range -70...+44 dBm, and a frequency coverage 9 kHz...110 GHz.
- Compatibility with E932x power sensors.
- Versatile connectivity with USB, LAN (LXI-C compliance), and GPIB standard.
- 2-year calibration cycle.
- A BenchVue software license (BV0007B) is included with your instrument. BenchVue makes it simple to connect, control instruments, and automate test sequences.
