# Keysight N1914B Dual-Channel EPM Series Average Power Meter (Standard, with Power Sensor Cables) (Pre-Owned) # Keysight N1914B Dual-Channel EPM Series Average Power Meter (Standard, with Power Sensor Cables) (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - Available as single-channel (N1913B) or dual-channel (N1914B), expandable to four channels with USB power sensor ports - Compatible with 8480 Series, E-Series (E4412/13A, E9300), N8480 Series, and USB average power sensors - GPIB, USB 2.0, and 10/100BaseT LAN (LXI-C) interfaces for remote control and automated test systems - Frequency range to 120 GHz and power range -70 to +44 dBm (100 pW to 25 W), sensor dependent - High-resolution color LCD with single/split-screen formats and a quasi-analog peaking display - Optional external trigger input/output for automated power and frequency sweep measurements - VGA output for connecting a large external monitor in manufacturing test - Backward compatible with N1913A and N1914A; BenchVue BV0007B software license included The Keysight N1913B and N1914B are EPM Series RF average power meters. The N1913B is a single-channel meter and the N1914B is a dual-channel meter, and both are designed as replacements for the earlier N1913A and N1914A while retaining backward compatibility with them. They support all average power sensors and their associated frequency ranges, with the measurable power range determined by the connected sensor, and they extend average power measurement to Keysight USB power sensors, including USB peak power sensors used in average-power mode. These meters address RF average power measurement across CW, modulated, and wireless-standard signals. Listed application areas include metrology-lab work, radar and navigation, and mobile-radio standards such as GSM, EDGE, GPRS, cdma2000, cdmaONE, 3G, HSPA, and LTE, along with wireless LAN (802.11a/b/g/n), WPAN (Bluetooth, RFID, ZigBee), and WMAN (WiMAX, WiBro) testing. A VGA output supports connecting a large external monitor to enhance manufacturing test. ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois. Every pre-owned order ships from that facility; used units are inspected and functionally verified in-house before shipment, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. ## Brand Heritage Keysight Technologies traces its measurement heritage to Hewlett-Packard, whose test-and-measurement business was spun out as Agilent Technologies in 1999. Agilent's electronic measurement division then became the independent Keysight Technologies in 2014. ## Compare Other Models in This Series The EPM Series covered here comprises two average power meters: the single-channel N1913B and the dual-channel N1914B. Both are positioned as versatile replacements for the discontinued N1913A and N1914A, and both retain backward compatibility with those earlier units. The two meters share a common feature set, including the color LCD readout, the same broad sensor compatibility, and GPIB, USB, and LAN connectivity. They differ primarily in channel count and the resulting measurement-display and measurement-speed behavior, and with the optional USB sensor ports the dual-channel meter can present up to four channels of measurement. Each model below links to its own dedicated product page with pre-owned-matched pricing. Compare the N1913B and N1914B on the points that matter for your application, such as channel count and display configuration, then select the page for the model and condition you need. The core difference is channel count: the N1913B is a single-channel meter, while the N1914B provides dual channels and can simultaneously display combinations such as A, B, A/B, B/A, A-B, B-A, and relative. On the N1914B, the rear-panel recorder outputs are dedicated to channels A and B. Measurement speed also differs. With E-Series sensors in fast mode the N1913B reaches up to 400 readings per second, while the N1914B's typical maximum is reduced to about 200 readings per second with both channels in fast mode. Both models can expand to four channels via the optional USB sensor ports. The comparison table below summarizes these per-model differences. Model Channels Frequency Range Power Range **N1914B** 2 DC to 120 GHz (sensor dependent) –70 to +44 dBm (sensor dependent) N1913B 1 DC to 120 GHz (sensor dependent) –70 to +44 dBm (sensor dependent) N1913B 1 DC to 120 GHz (sensor dependent) –70 to +44 dBm (sensor dependent) Additional differences in specifications beyond the few shown above are not listed here — see each model's full specifications below. ## Accessories Supplied - Power cord - Power sensor cable, 1.5 m (5 ft) (two per N1914B) - USB cable Type A to Mini-B, 6 ft - BenchVue BV0007B Power Meter/Sensor Control and Analysis app license (included) > **Replaces:** per the manufacturer, this model replaces [N1913A](/products/n1913a-keysight-rf-power-meter-new), [N1914A](/products/n1914a-keysight-rf-power-meter-new). ## Product Core & Specifications Specification Value Compatible Power Sensors Supported sensors Keysight 8480 Series, E9300 E-Series, E4410 E-Series, N8480 Series, E8486A/V8486A/W8486A, U2000 Series, U8480A Series, U2040/50/60 X-Series (except U2049XA & U2042/44/60 X-Series in Average mode only) Measurement Range Frequency range DC to 120 GHz, sensor dependent Power range –70 to +44 dBm (100 pW to 25 W), sensor dependent Single sensor dynamic range 90 dB max (E-Series); 50 dB max (8480 Series); 55 dB max (N8480 Series); 80 dB max (E/V/W8486A waveguide); 80 dB max (U2000 Series); 55 dB max (U8480A Series); 96 dB max (U2040/50/60 X-Series) Display Display units Absolute: Watts or dBm; Relative: Percent or dB Display resolution Selectable 1.0, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 dB (logarithmic) or 1, 2, 3 and 4 significant digits (linear) Default resolution dB in logarithmic mode or three digits in linear mode Display type Color LCD with selectable single and split screen formats; quasi-analog display for peaking; the dual channel power meter can simultaneously display any two of A, B, A/B, B/A, A-B, B-A and relative; optional USB ports add channels C & D for up to 4-channel display Accuracy Absolute accuracy ±0.02 dB (Logarithmic) or ±0.5% (Linear).
