Training Program Details
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
