Keysight Thermistor Power Meters

Videos

This video introduces Keysight Thermistor Power Meters, engineered for precision power measurements in calibration labs, metrology environments, and high‑accuracy test workflows. Thermistor power meters use temperature‑compensated thermistor mount sensors and an automatic self‑balancing architecture to achieve highly stable, repeatable measurements at low power levels. Their inherent stability, coupled with RF‑to‑DC conversion, makes them ideal for generating traceable measurement results required in standards laboratories and precision manufacturing verification.


Self‑balancing operation compensates automatically for temperature changes, sensor drift, and environmental variations, ensuring reliable accuracy over long measurement durations. Thermistor power meters convert RF power to DC voltage or resistance, enabling highly accurate, traceable measurements—especially when paired with an external digital multimeter. These capabilities support calibration of RF sources, verification of power sensors, and precision measurements in controlled laboratory environments.


With support for GPIB, USB, and LAN connectivity, Keysight thermistor power meters integrate easily into automated test systems, high‑throughput workflows, and remote‑controlled calibration setups. They are well‑suited for organizations requiring dependable, environmentally stable power measurement for mission‑critical applications across aerospace, defense, communications, and precision electronics.
 

Key features include:

  • Self‑Balancing: Automatically compensates for temperature variation, drift, and environmental factors for long‑term stability.
  • RF‑to‑DC Conversion: Enables accurate, traceable low‑power measurements, especially when paired with an external DMM.
  • Remote Connectivity: GPIB, USB, and LAN interfaces support automated systems and high‑throughput workflows.
  • Precision Calibration: Ideal for metrology and calibration labs requiring stable, repeatable, environmentally resilient measurements.
     

Thermistor Power Meters provide precision, traceability, and long‑term stability for calibration and metrology applications. With self‑balancing architecture, RF‑to‑DC conversion, and flexible connectivity, they deliver the accuracy needed for mission‑critical low‑power RF measurements.
