The HP 436A Power Meter is a general purpose digital power meter intended for manual and automatic RF and microwave power measurements.  It is compatible with the entire series of HP 8480 Power Sensors.  Depending on which power sensor is used, the HP 436A can measure power from -70 dBm (100 pW) to +44 dBm (25 W) at frequencies up to 50 GHz.

The logically organized and uncluttered front panel, and the convenience of push-button operation and digital display make the HP 436A both easy to interpret and easy to use in any application.  The auto ranging capability allows for "hands-off" operation.

The HP 436A measures either absolute or relative power.  It displays absolute power in either watts or dBm, and relative power in dB.

The HP 436A Power Meter also features optional programmability; the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB) interface is available.  This interface allows full remote control of all power meter functions (CAL function can be programmed to either 100 percent or the CAL factor which has been manually set on the front panel).  This option may be added by the user at a later time.
