Chapter 1 Introduction

Description

TheDPSPowerSensorsareintendedforuseincoaxialtransmissionlinesof50

ohmnominalimpedance.Thesensorsutilizeelementsinordertomakepower

measurements.Eachelementhasanarrowonitthatrepresentsthedirectionin

whichitmeasurespower.Theelementsignorepowerintheoppositedirection



withadirectivityofatleast25dB.TheDPSseriescanmakepower

measurementsusingeither43typeorAPM/DPMelements,andthereadings

availablevary,basedonwhichelementsarebeingused.

SincetheDPSusestwoelements,itcanmeasurethequalityofthesystemby

comparingtheforwardandthereflectedpower.Thisisusuallypresentedinthe

formofVSWR(voltagestandingwaveratio)orReturnLoss.

Element Types

43 Type Elements

The43typeelementsarenormallyusedtomeasurepeakpower.These

elementscanmeasurethepeakpowerofasystemwithanaccuracyof+/‐8%of

fullscaleaslongasthesignalmeetsthefollowingrequirements:

 Atleast15pulsespersecond(PPS

 Minimumpulsewidthof15µs(800nsiffrequencyisgreaterthan100

MHz)

 MinimumDutyCycleof0.01%

Inaddition,43typeelementscanbeusedtomeasureaveragepowerinsignals

withapeak‐to‐averageratiocloseto1,likeaCWorFMsignals.Inthesecases,

theaveragepowerismeasuredwithanaccuracyof+/‐5%offullscale.

APM/DPM Elements

TheAPM/DPMelementsareusedtomeasuretrueaveragepower.Trueaverage

powermeansthesensorprovidesequivalentheatingpowerofthesignal,

regardlessofmodulationornumberofcarriers.Theseelementscanmeasure

averagepowerwithanaccuracyof+/‐5%ofreadingfromfullscaledownto

2.5%of

fullscale.

Note: Theequivalentheatingpowerisdependentontheduty

cycleofasignal.Ifasystemputsout50wattswitha50%duty

cycle,theAPM/DPMelementswillmeasure25watts.

Theforwardelementandthereflectedelementmustbeofthesameseries

(APMor43).Thepowerratingoftheforwardelementmustbe10xthepower

ratingofthereverseelement.

Inserttheforwardelementintotheforwardsocketwithitsarrowpointinginthe

directionofforwardpower.Insertthereflectedelementintothereflected

socketwithitsarrowpointinginthedirectionofreversepower.

Element Contact Alignment

Continuousinsertionorrotationoftheelementmightcauseaslightchangein

thepositionofthecontactspringintheelementsocket.Ifthe contactspring

changesposition,erraticpowerreadingsmaybeexperienced.

Thepositionofthecontactspringmaybeadjustedwithasmallscrewdriverto

reestablishcontact.

Performthefollowingstepstoadjustthecontactspring:

1. Usingasmallflatheadscrewdriver,placetheflatsideofthescrewdriver

behindthecontactbarasindicatedandbendthecontactbarsothatthe

contactrestsinthecenteroftheslotadjacenttotheelementsocket.

WARNING

LeakingRFenergyis apotentialhealthhazard.DONOTconnectordisconnect

equipmentfromthetransmissionlinewhileRFpowerisbeingapplied.Severe

burns,electricalshock,ordeathcanoccur.

CAUTION

Iftheelementcannotbefullyinsertedintothesocket,donotforceit.This

maydamagethe

element.
