The JD730 power sensors are portable for field applications and can interface with a PC or any JDSUs instrument.
The Directional Power Sensors (JD731A, JD733A) are used to measure forward power and reflected power without having any service disturbance. Typical applications are for installation, maintenance, and monitoring of transmitters with antenna in wireless base station.
The Terminating Power Sensor (JD732A, JD734A, JD736A) is used to measure power for installation, and maintenance of base station in wireless and RF generators or repeaters.
While conventional power sensors can be used in conjunction with additional power meters, The JD730 power sensors are small and lightweight making the optimal portable solutions for field applications, together with the benefit of communicating with a PC or a JDSU's instrument.

Field Test Solution The JD730 power sensors are the ideal field test solutions due to its compact size, lightweight and ability to operate with a laptop computer in standalone mode or with JDSUs field instruments. Making the JD730 power sensors the optimal solutions for installation and maintenance of modern wireless and RF base stations.
No Zeroing Calibration The JD730 power sensors are not required to get disconnected or to power it down for zeroing calibration. The power sensors do not need any additional calibration beyond the factorys calibration which ensures measurement accuracy.
Measurement Methodologies The JD730 power sensors have two different measurement methodologies, terminating for out-ofservice applications and directional for in-service applications.
Average Power (RMS Value) This power metric provides an average power value for modulated, non-modulated or multicarriers signals.
Chapter 1
1-4
INTRODUCTION
Peak Power (Peak Envelope Power) This power metric provides peak power values of the modulated envelope, indicating the maximum signals power.
CH 1
VSWR or Return Loss This power metric provides forward and reverse average power ratios for matching characteristics of loads. This metric is presented as VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) or Return Loss.
This is a typical power measurement methodology for out-of-service applications including engineering, laboratory, and manufacturing, as well as installation and maintenance.

Device Information: Once connection has been made with the JD730 series power sensors, JDPM retrieves the following information. Model: Model Number of connected power sensor S/N: Serial Number Ver: Instruments firmware version
Measurement Variables: Sets measurement parameters, frequency, external offsets, and types of display modes, absolute or relative settings. Frequency: Frequency to be measured Ext. Offset: Sets an external offset value. An offset consists of a cable offset and a
user offset, and the measurement result shows the value reflecting both offsets. Mode: Selects display modes either Relative or Absolute. If it is set to Relative, the measurement is made relative to the reference level you set and the results are displayed in dB. If it is set to Absolute, all the power values of the measurement are absolute and indicated with dBm or microWatts units.
Display Range: Sets display range, you can change display range separately in each measurement windows.
Limit: Sets maximum and minimum limits, you can change limit range separately in each measurement windows, once the limit lines are enabled, an audible alarm will be generated by the PC if the measured value exceeds the defined limits.
