MEAS401 - Basic RF and Microwave Power Measurement

In this course the basics of RF and microwave power measurement is discussed. The measurement of power, the effects of reflection, developing a known source reflection coefficient using a leveling configuration are all discussed. In addition the calibration of a power measurement standard against higher level standards is discussed and the resulting measurement equation is presented in steps.

The course outline is as follows:

• Introduction
• Power Measurement Devices
  • Detectors
  • Power Sensors
  • In-line Power Meters
  • Thermistors
  • Log Amplifier Detectors
• Delivered Power vs Available Power
• Basic Power Measurement
  • The Basics
  • The effects of reflection on power measurement
  • Power measurement through a 2-port device
• Power Measurement Device Calibration
  • Calorimetry
  • Alternate connection to a stable power source method
  • The use of leveling in power calibration
• Summary

This course is appropriate for engineers or advanced technicians who are involved in power measurement and power calibration.

This course covers some of the ASQ CCT exam body of knowledge and is worth 0.2 Recertification Units (RU) towards ASQ CCT recertification.
