The Giga-tronics 8003 Precision Scalar Analyzer combines a 90 dB wide dynamic range with the accuracy and linearity of a power meter in a single instrument.
The 8003 Precision Scalar Analyzer can make accurate, single sensor power measurements over a frequency range of 10 MHz to 40 GHz with a dynamic range of –70 to +20 dBm.
This wide dynamic range results from our unique use of switched linear gain stages, with a maximum gain of more than 100 dB, rather than the log amplifiers typically used in scaler analyzers. In addition to wide dynamic range, our approach also delivers extremely accurate low level measurements all the way down to –70 dBm.
The 8003 also incorporates a unique, built-in power sweep calibrator that linearizes the sensors diode response in the nonsquare-law region, from -30 to +20 dBm. The calibration system uses the inherent linearity and stability of an ovenized thermistor to accurately calibrate the high-speed diode sensors from 0 to 50°C, ambient.
