Metrology Measurements with the N5531X Measuring Receiver

Application Notes

This application note analyzes the sources that contribute to measurement uncertainties and summarizes how to achieve the most accurate measurement results with the Keysight N5531X. A measuring receiver is an effective tool for calibrating signal generators and RF attenuators. It is widely used in metrology and calibration lab environments across industries including aerospace, defense, and commercial telecommunications. Accurately quantifying the output signal strength (RF power) of signal sources is one of the most crucial tasks for measuring receivers. The Keysight N5531X measuring receiver's linearity and sensitivity enables metrology users to calibrate signal generators and step attenuators with wide dynamic range at different frequencies (from RF to millimeter wave frequencies) to meet strict specifications demanded by customers. Due to the nature of metrology services, even a fraction of a decibel in RF power measurements can significantly impact the quality of the services.
