Description
Power readings drive many RF decisions, from amplifier output to cable loss. The Keysight N1914B power meter measures average RF and microwave power on two sensor channels. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, so a lab can add one for a project or keep one for good.
Two channels, up to four with USB sensors
The N1914B has two native sensor channels. With supported USB sensors, it can then display as many as four. A dual-channel meter also supports ratio, difference and simultaneous power readings. For example, one sensor at an amplifier input and one at its output give you gain from a single instrument.
The sensor sets the range
| Measurement type | Average RF and microwave power |
|---|---|
| Frequency range | DC to 220 GHz, depending on the sensor |
| Dynamic range | -70 to +44 dBm, depending on the sensor |
| Sensor channels | 2 native; up to 4 displayed with supported USB sensors |
| Interfaces | GPIB, LAN/LXI and USB |
Those limits belong to the meter and sensor pair together. So pick the sensor first, then confirm that the meter supports it. Check calibration factors, averaging and connector condition as well.
Jobs for a Keysight N1914B power meter
- Checking output power on RF transmitters and amplifiers.
- Measuring losses and ratios, such as insertion loss, gain and channel ratio.
- Running automated rack tests, because the meter offers remote control.
- Taking bench and field readings with interchangeable sensors.
SCPI interfaces and backward compatibility also ease a move from older EPM systems. So Lost in HCM can help you match the meter to the sensors your project already uses.
Rent, buy or arrange service
A rental suits a project with a clear end date, such as a transmitter qualification or a line ramp. However, buying makes more sense for a bench that measures power every week. Lost in HCM also arranges service on request.

N1914B questions
Which frequency range does the N1914B cover?
The meter works from DC to 220 GHz, but the sensor you attach sets the real limit.
Can it join an automated test rack?
Yes. It offers GPIB, LAN/LXI and USB interfaces, and SCPI commands help with legacy EPM code.
Does the quote include sensors?
Sensors and cables are quoted per configuration. Tell Lost in HCM your frequency and power range, and they will match them.
