RF power sensor calibration

An RF power meter and its detachable sensor may carry separate asset numbers. The sensor is also the part connected to the signal under measurement. Identify both items and tell RTS whether the requested result concerns the sensor alone or the complete reading system.

Put frequency beside each power level

Give the model, connector type, requested frequencies and power levels with their units. Identify whether your procedure uses a continuous signal, average power or a pulse-related measurement. A sensor's frequency rating alone does not describe the points needed for the product or bench you are checking.

If the system uses stored calibration factors, provide the current table or the previous certificate when available. Mark any frequencies that must continue an existing measurement history. RTS can review the requested combinations and reporting requirements before confirming acceptance; RF and mains-frequency power measurements have different arrangements.

Define what is included in the signal path

List any attenuator, adapter, cable or separate interface used with the sensor. Identify which items need to be included in the result and which stay at your bench. Connector type and condition matter when arranging a comparison, so describe existing damage rather than fitting an unverified adapter for shipment.

For a USB or remotely read sensor, give the interface model and the normal readout arrangement. If software applies an offset or a correction, include the approved setting with the request. The quotation should identify the measurement plane and the accessories included so the result can be applied to the intended setup.

Return the sensor to its assigned bench

Keep protective connector caps with the sensor and list the meter or interface in the packing note. Name the person who maintains its correction record. If several sensors share one readout, agree which equipment must travel and give each sensor its own return identification.

RF attenuators in the measurement path

An RF attenuator should retain its connector type, direction if specified, frequency points and selected attenuation steps. Say whether you need attenuation, matching or power-handling evidence; these are different requirements. Include previous assigned values if corrections are applied in the bench software. RTS can review the reference method and service route for the accessory. A power-meter check does not automatically calibrate an attenuator placed ahead of its sensor.
