Theory
The left impedance is the signal generator which is generating enough power for 1 ampere.
This 1Amp. generates in the right impedance.
The current sensor has 1 ohm transfer impedance, this means 1 ampere generates 1 Volt on the measuring part below.
The power in the lower 50 ohm impedance is
So 1 ohm:
Reference measurement
Probe measurement
Calculation
and in dBm.
Example
On 10 MHz we have the following information:
- Calibration: 0 dBm.
- Measurement: -27,96 dBm.
So:
Verification
The left impedance is the signal generator which is generating enough power for 1 ampere.
This 1 Ampere generates in the right impedance.
The current sensor has 2 ohm transfer impedance, this means 1 ampere generates 2 Volt on the measuring part below.
The power in the lower 50 ohm impedance is
So 2 ohm:
The difference to a 1 Ohm impedance is
Conclusion
Correction to a 1 ohm impedance is
