TEGAM to Host RF Power Sensor Calibration User’s Group
GENEVA, OH, May 23, 2012
TEGAM, Inc. is a known leader in the field of RF Power Sensor Calibration. Now, TEGAM is inviting Calibration professionals to learn, test and discuss RF Power Sensor Calibration in a uniquely designed User’s Group. Being held August 1, 2012 in Sacramento, the group will meet for a full day at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel. “The idea for this event came from our customers who asked for practical training in RF metrology”, states Adam Fleder, President of TEGAM, Inc. “RF Power Sensor Calibration is a specialty of TEGAM and we continue to invest in improved measurements and techniques to benefit our customers.” The agenda is as follows:
- Practical introduction to RF power transfer between two coupled ports.
- Gamma and how to use Gamma to calculate power transfer and port match.
- The importance of vector measurements to the precise knowledge of power transfer.
- Typical arrangements of RF Power Sensor Calibration stations.
- The step-by-step process of calibrating a power sensor.
- Contributing factors to uncertainty of a calibration factor.
- Practical example, with Excel Spreadsheet and real data, of calculating expanded uncertainty of a calibration factor.
- Considerations for measuring the S parameters of a splitter.
- Demonstration of calibrating a 50 MHz reference port on a power meter
- A complete, end-to-end, demonstration of calibrating a power sensor using an automated station.
