Basic RF and Microwave Power Measurement

Electrical Engineering

LearningMeasure.com
This course we will cover the basics of RF and microwave power measurements. First some of the devices used to measure power are briefly described, then the basic power measurement is described, including the effects of mismatches due to reflections in the measurement system on the measured power. Also the measurement of power through a two-port device is covered. Finally this course discusses in a fair amount of detail how to transfer the calibration of a higher-level measurement standard to a working standard using the alternate connection to a stable source method, including the derivation of the measurement equation for this method.

This course is meant for the engineer or advanced technician who is interested in performing accurate power measurements or power calibrations.

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.
