High efficiency and good RF match are characteristic of the R486A Thermistor Mount which, in conjunction with the 432 Power Meter, provide you with high accuracy even in routine power measurements. It is temperature-compensated for low drift, even in the presence of thermal shocks, permitting measurement of microwave power as low as one microwatt. It contains data showing Calibration Factor and Effective Efficiency at six frequencies, directly traceable to the National Bureau of Standards at those frequencies where NBS provides calibration service. The unit covers the R-band (26.5 to 40GHz).
