* excellent MUX/DeMUX testing, PDL critical devices and alignment, and
* adjustment optimization.
The 81636B and 81637B Fast Power Meters specifications include:
* 55 dB dynamic range per measurement range;
* extremely high accuracy;
* 100,000 data points;
* high-speed data transfer to the mainframe, which is important in swept measurement and manual and automated alignment;
* low PDL (+/-0.005 dB); and
* low Spectral Ripple.
The Agilent 81636B and 81637B power meters are expected to start shipping in August 2001. The price of the 81636B is $2,625 and the 81637B is $4,200.
