EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
NOTES
Minimum use specifications are the principal parameters required for performance of the calibration, and are
included to assist in the selection of alternate equipment, which may be used at the discretion of the using
laboratory. Satisfactory performance of alternate items shall be verified prior to use. All applicable
equipment must bear evidence of current calibration.
The instruments utilized in this procedure were selected from those known to be available at Navy calibration
facilities and the listing by make or model number carries no implication of preference, recommendation, or
approval for use by other agencies. It is recognized that equivalent equipment produced by other
manufacturers may be capable of equally satisfactory performance in this procedure.

(1)
The RSS of power standard assembly and DMM uncertainties should be ±1.250% (total system uncertainty =
±1.250%, including RSS of DMM and power standard assembly uncertainty). The major error components of the
power measurement are the DMM measurements of the V0, V1, Vcomp, and R values from the power meter and the
power standard assembly cal factor. The DMM uncertainty for measurement of V0, V1, Vcomp, R total to 0.1142%
(RSS), which then requires the power standard assembly cal factor uncertainty to be 1.245%, to achieve an overall
±1.25% system uncertainty.
(2)
Due to the standard specification limitation of the 4098F/4098F2 power standard assembly, NPSL provides an
uncertainty of ±2.5% on the Report of Calibration. This provides a total uncertainty of ±2.503% (accounting for
the DMM uncertainties that are part of the system measurement) which yields a 2:1 TAR, when testing the TI
Wattmeter Elements. Any alternate standard must be at least as accurate as the 4098F/4098F2 power standard
assembly (with NPSL Report of Calibration) to be utilized.
(3)
If the TI is submitted with a 50 , 100 W load (Ex. 4410-030 or TS4161P sets), then the TI load may be used in
place of item 2.9.
SECTION 3
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
3.1 Ensure that all power switches are set to off, and set all auxiliary equipment controls as necessary to avoid damage to the
equipment and so that dangerous voltages will not be present on output terminals when the power switches are turned on.
3.2 Connect the TI and all auxiliary equipment to the appropriate power source.
3.3 Ensure that the TI (RF wattmeter) indicates zero. If necessary, adjust the TI (RF wattmeter) mechanical zero.
3.4 Turn on all auxiliary power switches (except the RF power amplifier (item 2.1) and power meter (item 2.2)), and allow
sufficient warm-up time for the equipment (the TI requires 5 minutes warm-up time).
3.5 Preset the signal generator (item 2.3) to its default state.
3.6 Set the TI Range switch to BAT, and ensure that the TI indicates within the BATTERY TEST region. If necessary,
replace the TI battery, allow another 5 minute warm-up period for the TI, and then repeat this step.

NOTE
Ensure that the DMM input leads are isolated from chassis ground.
4.4.2.7 Ensure that the DMM indication is 0.2 mV. If not, press and hold the power meter fine zero switch and adjust the
coarse zero control for a DMM indication of 0.2 mV.
4.4.2.8 Record the DMM indication as V0 (in Volts) for use in step 4.4.2.14. Set the power meter range switch to 10 mW.
4.4.2.9 Set the signal generator frequency to the lower test frequency listed in the table following step 4.4.2.3 corresponding
to the TI Wattmeter Element being tested.
4.4.2.10 Set the signal generator amplitude to -50 dBm, and ensure that the output is turned on.
4.4.2.11 Using the table following step 4.4.2.15, set the TI RF Wattmeter range switch to the following settings, according to
the TI Wattmeter Element being tested; at each setting, adjust the signal generator amplitude for the TI meter indication listed.
4.4.2.12 Record the DMM indication as V1 (in Volts) for use in step 4.4.2.14.
4.4.2.13 Set the DMM to measure and display the rear input terminals. Record the DMM indication as VCOMP (in Volts) for
use in step 4.4.2.14.
4.4.2.14 Calculate the power meter measurement using the following formula:
2 2
2 x VCOMP x (V1 V0 ) V0 V1
Power (W) =
4xR
(V0, V1, and VCOMP, are in Volts) (R is the power meter mount resistance recorded earlier)
4.4.2.15 Compute the adjusted power measurement using the following process, and verify that the result is within the
tolerance limits listed in the following table corresponding to the nominal power level being tested.
NOTE
Compute the adjusted power measurement by dividing the power meter measurement obtained in step 4.4.2.14
by the cal factor from the Report of Calibration for the power standard assembly (item 2.8), which consists of
a directional coupler, attenuator (if applicable), and thermistor mount. Use the appropriate calibration factor
(CF) assigned to the power standard assembly corresponding to the current test frequency.
Example No. 1
1 Watt Nominal Test @10 MHz
Power meter measurement (calculated): 90.3 W
Item 2.8 Report of Calibration Cal Factor @10 MHz = 0.000088308
Then:
Adjusted power measurement = 90.3 W/0.000088308 = 1.023 W
Example No. 2
10 Watt Nominal Test @50 MHz
Power meter measurement (calculated): 0.25 mW
Item 2.8 Report of Calibration Cal Factor @50 MHz = 0.000024266
Then:
Adjusted power measurement = 0.25 mW/0.000024266 = 10.30 W

NAVAIR 17-20AP-53
NOTE
If the insertion loss of the RF coaxial cables and low pass filter used in the test setup are too large there is a
chance the 80 Watt test level may not be obtainable, especially if the RF power amplifier is not able to
generate more than 100 Watts at the output. If this occurs, try using shorter cables in the test setup, or - if
possible – try using no cables and direct connect the items as much as possible.

APPENDIX B
MEASURING TYPE N CONNECTOR CRITICAL DIMENSIONS
Verification of the critical dimensions of Type N connectors for compliance to the MIL-C-39012 composite , Rev A
specification can be carried out with any of the Maury Microwave A-007 series connector gage kits.
The A-007 contains the master gage block manufactured to the MIL-C-71B specification. The dimensions
of this gage block are 0.197 inches for female connectors and 0.223 inches for male connectors.
The A-007A contains the master gage block manufactured to the MIL-C-39012B specification. The
dimensions of this gage block are 0.207 inches for female connectors and 0.210 inches for male connectors.
The A-007B contains both master gage blocks.
The master gage block calibrated to the MIL-C-71B specification is labeled with an “N”. The master gage block calibrated to
the MIL-C-39012B specification is labeled with “N-2”.
B.1 GAGE BLOCK “N” (MIL-C-71B)
B.1.1 After zeroing the gage using the “M” end of the master gage block, a TI measurement should result in a gage indication
between -0.010 and +0.016 inches for male connectors (0.207 to 0.233 inches).
B.1.2 After zeroing the gage using the “F” end of the master gage block, a TI measurement should result in a gage indication
between -0.010 and +0.010 inches for female connectors (0.187 to 0.207 inches).
B.2 GAGE BLOCK “N-2” (MIL-C-39012B)
B.2.1 After zeroing the gage using the “M” end of the master gage block, a TI measurement should result in a gage indication
between -0.023 and +0.003 inches for male connectors (0.207 to 0.233 inches).
B.2.2 After zeroing the gage using the “F” end of the master gage block, a TI measurement should result in a gage indication
between -0.020 and 0.000 inches for female connectors (0.187 to 0.207 inches).

INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION

Table 1. Calibration Description

Table 2. Equipment Requirements

Item Minimum Use Calibration

4.1 50 LOAD RESISTANCE TEST

4.1.3 Disconnect the DMM leads from the TI 50 load.

4.2 CONNECTOR DIMENSION TESTS

4.3 VSWR TESTS

4.3.5 Repeat step 4.3.4 at the upper test frequency.

4.4 WATTMETER ELEMENT TESTS

4.4.1 Power Meter Bridge Resistance Measurement

4.4.1.1 Ensure that the power meter power switch to off.

4.4.1.2 Determine the bridge resistance of the power meter as follows:

4.4.1.2.1 Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 1.

4.4.1.2.2 Set the power meter MOUNT RESISTANCE switch to 200 .

4.4.2 Power Tests - Lower Frequency

TI Wattmeter Element Lower Test Frequency Recommended

(KEEP ALL CABLE CONNECTIONS
