Errata
This manual may contain references to HP or Hewlett-Packard. Please note that Hewlett-Packard's former test
and measurement, semiconductor products and chemical analysis businesses are now part of Agilent
Technologies. To reduce potential confusion, the only change to product numbers and names has been in the
company name prefix: where a product number/name was HP XXXX the current name/number is now Agilent
XXXX. For example, model number HP8648 is now model number Agilent 8648.
Ce manuel peut contenir des références à <<HP>> ou <<Hewlett-Packard.>> Veuillez noter que les produits de
test et mesure, de semi-conducteur et d'analyse chimique qui avaient fait partie de la société Hewlett-Packard
sont maintenent une partie de la société Agilent Technologies. Pour reduire la confusion potentielle, le seul
changement aux noms de reference a été dans le préfixe de nom de société : là où un nom de référence était HP
XXXX, le nouveau nom de référence est maintenant Agilent XXXX. Par example, le HP 8648 s'appelle
maintenent Agilent 8648.
Diese Gebrauchsanweiseung kann Bezug nehmen auf die Namen HP oder Hewlett-Packard. Bitte beachten Sie,
dass ehemalige Betriebsbereiche von Hewlett-Packard wie HP-Halbleiterprodukte, HP-chemische Analysen
oder HP-Test- und Messwesen nun zu der Firma Agilent Technology gehören. Um Verwirrung zu vermeiden
wurde lediglich bei Produktname und - Nummer der vo laufende Firmenname geändert: Produkte mit dem
Namen/Nummer HP XXXX lauten nun mehr Agilent XXXX. Z.B, das Modell HP 8648 heißt nun Agilent 8648.
Questo manuale potrebbe contenere riferimenti ad HP o Hewlett-Packard. Si noti che le attività precedentemente
gestite da Hewlett-Packard nel campo di Test & Misura, Semiconduttori, ed Analisi Chimica sono ora diventate
parte di Agilent Technologies. Al fine di ridurre il rischio di confusione, l'unica modifica effettuata sui numeri di
prodotto e sui nomi ha riguardato il prefisso con il nome dell'azienda : dove precedentemente compariva "HP
XXXX" compare ora "Agilent XXXX". Ad esempio: il modello HP8648 è ora indicato come Agilent 8648.
Este manual puede hacer referencias a HP o Hewlett Packard. Las organizaciones de Prueba y Medición (Test
and Measurement), Semiconductores (Semiconductor Products) y Análisis Químico (Chemical Analysis) que
pertenecían a Hewlett Packard, ahora forman parte de Agilent Technologies. Para reducir una potencial
confusión, el único cambio en el número de producto y nombre, es el prefijo de la compañía: Si el producto solía
ser HP XXXX, ahora pasa a ser Agilent XXXX. Por ejemplo, el modelo HP8648 es ahora Agilent 8648.

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all
phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to
comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in
this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and
intended use of the instrument. Agilent Technologies assumes no liability
for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
WARNIN This is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective
earthing ground, incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug
shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective
earth contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor inside
or outside of the instrument is likely to make the instrument
dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in the
presence of flammable gasses or fumes.
DO NOT use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuseholders: For continued
protection against fire, replace the line fuse(s) only with fuse(s) of the
same voltage and current rating and type.
DO NOT perform procedures involving cover or shield removal unless
you are qualified to do so: Operating personnel must not remove
equipment covers or shields. Procedures involving the removal of covers
and shields are for use by service-trained personnel only.
DO NOT service or adjust alone: Under certain conditions, dangerous
voltages may exist even with the equipment switched off. To avoid
dangerous electrical shock, service personnel must not attempt internal
service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first
aid and resuscitation, is present.

Welcome to the EPM-P series power meter User’s Guide!
Together with the E-series E93 0 power sensors, the EPM-P series power
meters can measure complex modulation formats such as TDMA, CDMA
and W-CDMA. Pre-installed measurement setups for GSM900, EDGE,
NADC, iDEN, Bluetooth, cdmaOne, W-CDMA, and cdma 000 help reduce
the time required to measure these common wireless communications
formats.
Power measurements include peak, peak-to-average ratio and average
power of RF and microwave signals. Extensive triggering features such
as continuous, level, external TTL, and GPIB, are available for making
time gated measurements.
In addition, the EPM-P power meters are compatible with E-series E9300,
E-series 4410, and 8480 series power sensors giving you additional choice
for conventional, average power measurements.

This User’s Guide shows you how to operate your EPM-P series power
meter using the front panel interface to make measurements with the
E-series E93 0, E-series E9300, E-series 4410, and 8480 series power
sensors.
Some EPM-P series power meter features and capabilities depend on the
type of power sensor connected. Other features are general and
independent of the power sensor. This User’s Guide is therefor divided
into 3 main blocks.
• Chapters 1 and show you the main EPM-P power meter functions.
These functions are typically independent of the connected sensor
type.
• Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 show you how to use the EPM-P power meters
with each of the four sensor families.
• Chapters 7 and 8 describe general maintenance and specifications.
For remote programming information, refer to the EPM-P series power
meters Programmer’s Guide.
