Keysight (Agilent) E9301A E-Series Average Power Sensor, 10 MHz to 6 GHz

The Keysight (Agilent) E9301A is an E-Series average power sensor that measures average power across signals from 10 MHz to 6 GHz with 80 dB dynamic range and ±20 dBm measurement capability. It handles all modulation formats—W-CDMA, CDMA, TDMA, OFDM, multi-tone, and CW—making it suitable for wireless communication, radar, and component testing environments. The sensor stores calibration factors, linearity data, and temperature compensation coefficients in onboard EEPROM for automated error correction. Measurements are NIST-traceable.
