SECTION I

IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION

1. Test Instrument Identification.

This bulletin provides instructions for the

calibration of Power Meter, Agilent, Model E4419B. The manufacturer's manual was used

as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The equipment being calibrated

will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout this bulletin.

a. Model Variations. None.

b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 4

hours, using the dc and low frequency and microwave technique.

2. Forms, Records, and Reports

a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are

prescribed by TB 750-25.

b. Adjustments to be reported are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which

they appear. When adjustments are in tables, the (R) follows the designated adjustment.

Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R).

3. Calibration Description. TI parameters and performance specifications which

pertain to this calibration are in table 1.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

4. Equipment Required. Table 2 identifies the specific equipment to be used in this

calibration procedure. This equipment is issued with Secondary Transfer Calibration

Standards Set AN/GSM-287, or AN/GSM-705. Alternate items may be used by the

calibrating activity. The items selected must be verified to perform satisfactorily prior to

use and must bear evidence of current calibration. The equipment must meet or exceed the

minimum use specifications listed in table 2. The accuracies listed in table 2 provide a four-

to-one ratio between the standard and TI. Where the four-to-one ratio cannot be met, the

actual accuracy of the equipment selected is shown in parenthesis.

5. Accessories Required. The accessories required for this calibration are common

usage accessories, issued as indicated in paragraph 4 above, and are not listed in this
