Perform measurements down to the DC range
The U8480 Series is Keysight’s first power sensor with the capability to measure down to DC. This feature is especially useful for signal source/network analyzer calibration, power references, and EMC applications.
Built-in external trigger input
An external trigger enables precise triggering of small signals close to the noise floor. With the U8480 Series power sensors, you can connect an external trigger signal from a signal source or device under test directly to the USB sensor using a standard BNC-to-SMB cable.
Innovate at speed with curated support plans and prioritized response and turn-around times.
