# Agilent E4417A EPM-P Series Dual-Channel Peak and Average Power Meter (Pre-Owned)

# Agilent E4417A EPM-P Series Dual-Channel Peak and Average Power Meter (Pre-Owned)

## Key Features At A Glance

-   Single-channel (E4416A) and dual-channel (E4417A) EPM-P meters for peak, average, and time-gated power measurement
-   GPIB (IEEE 488.2/IEC-625), RS-232, and RS-422 serial interfaces supplied as standard for automated test systems
-   Two measurement modes: Normal (peak, average, peak-to-average, time-gating) and Average-only for low-level signals
-   Frequency coverage 9 kHz to 110 GHz and -70 to +44 dBm power range, both sensor dependent
-   Internal 1 mW (0 dBm) 50 MHz power reference, factory-set traceable to NIST and NPL
-   20 Msamples/s continuous sampling with averaging selectable from 1 to 1024 readings
-   Predefined setups for GSM900, EDGE, NADC, iDEN, Bluetooth, IS-95 CDMA, W-CDMA, and cdma2000

The Agilent E4416A and E4417A are EPM-P Series power meters designed to operate with the E-series E9320 family of peak and average power sensors for peak, average, and time-gated power measurements. The single-channel E4416A and dual-channel E4417A also operate with the existing 8480 series, E-series CW, and E9300 range of power sensors for average power measurements. Two measurement modes are provided: Normal mode for peak, average, and time-related measurements, and Average-only mode for average power measurements on low-level signals.

A power meter measures the power level of an RF or microwave signal, pairing a calibrated sensor with a reading instrument that applies the sensor's stored calibration factors to report the result. The EPM-P series measures average power, peak power, peak-to-average ratio, and power between two time offsets (time-gating). Predefined setups are provided for common wireless standards including GSM900, EDGE, NADC, iDEN, Bluetooth, IS-95 CDMA, W-CDMA, and cdma2000.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house against the original manufacturer's specifications before it ships, while new units leave our warehouse factory-sealed exactly as received. That combination lets engineers source the right EPM-P power meter and sensor configuration quickly, with the condition transparency our customers depend on.

## Brand Heritage

This instrument carries Agilent Technologies branding. Agilent's test and measurement business originated within Hewlett-Packard and was established as Agilent Technologies in 1999, and that test and measurement business later transferred to Keysight Technologies in 2014.

## Compare Other Models in This Series

The EPM-P Series comprises two power meters: the single-channel E4416A and the dual-channel E4417A. Both share the same measurement architecture and operate with the E-series E9320 peak and average power sensors, differing primarily in channel count and the associated rear-panel outputs and supplied cabling.

The companion E9320 sensor family spans six models that differ in frequency range - 50 MHz to 6 GHz or 50 MHz to 18 GHz - and in video bandwidth, offered in 300 kHz, 1.5 MHz, and 5 MHz variants. The comparison table below summarizes how the models differ.

Each pre-owned model below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the model and channel configuration that fits your measurement needs, and review the per-model specifications on each page before ordering.

The E4416A is the single-channel EPM-P meter, supplied with one E9288A sensor cable and providing one recorder output. In fast speed within the -50 to +20 dBm range, its settling time for a 10 dB decreasing power step is 10 ms.

The principal difference between the two meters is channel count: the E4416A is single channel while the E4417A is dual channel, providing two recorder outputs and shipping with two E9288A sensor cables rather than one. Net weight is approximately 4.0 kg for the E4416A and 4.1 kg for the E4417A.

Among the E9320 sensors, the 50 MHz-to-6 GHz models (E9321A, E9322A, E9323A) and the 50 MHz-to-18 GHz models (E9325A, E9326A, E9327A) are each available with video bandwidths of 300 kHz, 1.5 MHz, or 5 MHz. Consult the comparison table for each model's frequency range, video bandwidth, and rise- and fall-time figures.

> **Important:** E9320 power sensors must be used with an E9288A, B, or C sensor cable.

> **Important:** The EPM-P series power meters require a compatible power sensor to make measurements; a sensor is not included with the meter (only the sensor cable is supplied as standard). Order an E-series E9320 sensor for peak, average and time-gated measurements, or an 8480 series, E-series CW or E9300 sensor for average power measurements, separately.

> **Important:** Each EPM-P series power meter includes a 3-year service warranty; power sensors carry a 1-year warranty.
