Safety Precautions
Thefollowingaregeneralsafetyprecautionsthatarenotnecessarilyrelatedto
anyspecificpartorprocedure,anddonotnecessarilyappearelsewhereinthis
publication.Theseprecautionsmustbethoroughlyunderstoodandapplytoall
phasesofoperationandmaintenance.
WARNING
KeepAwayFromLiveCircuits
OperatingPersonnelmustatalltimesobservegeneralsafetyprecautions.Do
notreplacecomponentsormakeadjustmentstotheinsideofthetest
equipmentwiththehighvoltagesupplyturnedon.Toavoidcasualties,always
removepower.
WARNING
ShockHazard
DonotattempttoremovetheRFtransmissionlinewhileRFpowerispresent.
WARNING
DoNotServiceOrAdjustAlone
Undernocircumstancesshouldanypersonreachintoanenclosureforthe
purposeofserviceoradjustmentofequipmentexceptinthepresenceof
someonewhoiscapableofrenderingaid.
WARNING
SafetyEarthGround
Anuninterruptibleearthsafetygroundmustbesuppliedfromthemain
powersourcetotestinstruments.Groundingoneconductorofatwo
conductorpowercableisnotsufficientprotection.Seriousinjuryordeathcan
occurifthisgroundingisnotproperlysupplied.
WARNING

Chapter 1 Introduction
Description
TheDPSPowerSensorsareintendedforuseincoaxialtransmissionlinesof50
ohmnominalimpedance.Thesensorsutilizeelementsinordertomakepower
measurements.Eachelementhasanarrowonitthatrepresentsthedirectionin
whichitmeasurespower.Theelementsignorepowerintheoppositedirection
withadirectivityofatleast25dB.TheDPSseriescanmakepower
measurementsusingeither43typeorAPM/DPMelements,andthereadings
availablevary,basedonwhichelementsarebeingused.
SincetheDPSusestwoelements,itcanmeasurethequalityofthesystemby
comparingtheforwardandthereflectedpower.Thisisusuallypresentedinthe
formofVSWR(voltagestandingwaveratio)orReturnLoss.
Element Types
43 Type Elements
The43typeelementsarenormallyusedtomeasurepeakpower.These
elementscanmeasurethepeakpowerofasystemwithanaccuracyof+/‐8%of
fullscaleaslongasthesignalmeetsthefollowingrequirements:
Atleast15pulsespersecond(PPS
Minimumpulsewidthof15µs(800nsiffrequencyisgreaterthan100
MHz)
MinimumDutyCycleof0.01%
Inaddition,43typeelementscanbeusedtomeasureaveragepowerinsignals
withapeak‐to‐averageratiocloseto1,likeaCWorFMsignals.Inthesecases,
theaveragepowerismeasuredwithanaccuracyof+/‐5%offullscale.
APM/DPM Elements
TheAPM/DPMelementsareusedtomeasuretrueaveragepower.Trueaverage
powermeansthesensorprovidesequivalentheatingpowerofthesignal,
regardlessofmodulationornumberofcarriers.Theseelementscanmeasure
averagepowerwithanaccuracyof+/‐5%ofreadingfromfullscaledownto
2.5%offullscale.
Note: Theequivalentheatingpowerisdependentontheduty
cycleofasignal.Ifasystemputsout50wattswitha50%duty
cycle,theAPM/DPMelementswillmeasure25watts.

Element Orientation
Theforwardelementandthereflectedelementmustbeofthesameseries
(APMor43).Thepowerratingoftheforwardelementmustbe10xthepower
ratingofthereverseelement.
Inserttheforwardelementintotheforwardsocketwithitsarrowpointinginthe
directionofforwardpower.Insertthereflectedelementintothereflected
socketwithitsarrowpointinginthedirectionofreversepower.
Element Contact Alignment
Continuousinsertionorrotationoftheelementmightcauseaslightchangein
thepositionofthecontactspringintheelementsocket.Ifthecontactspring
changesposition,erraticpowerreadingsmaybeexperienced.
Thepositionofthecontactspringmaybeadjustedwithasmallscrewdriverto
reestablishcontact.
Performthefollowingstepstoadjustthecontactspring:
1. Usingasmallflatheadscrewdriver,placetheflatsideofthescrewdriver
behindthecontactbarasindicatedandbendthecontactbarsothatthe
contactrestsinthecenteroftheslotadjacenttotheelementsocket.
WARNING
LeakingRFenergyisapotentialhealthhazard.DONOTconnectordisconnect
equipmentfromthetransmissionlinewhileRFpowerisbeingapplied.Severe
burns,electricalshock,ordeathcanoccur.
CAUTION
Iftheelementcannotbefullyinsertedintothesocket,donotforceit.This
maydamagetheelement.
