Keysight's new Thermocouple Power Sensor is a replacement product for legacy 8480 power sensors. They provide more accurate power measurements with excellent power linearity and repeatability.

The Keysight N8481A is enhanced with an EEPROM which automatically loads the calibration factors whenever the sensor is connected to the power meter.

Option CFT is available as a drop in replacement for legacy 8480 Series Power Sensors by maintaining the manual calibration factor entry and SCPI compatibility.

Compatible with Keysight EPM (E4418B/19B), EPM-P (E4416A/17A) and P-series (N1911A/12A) power meters family only (free firmware upgrade may be required).

Not compatible with older 400 Series power meters.
