Abstract :
RF power is a fundamental measurement representing energy transfer over a period of time. This paper discusses power sensor technology and measurement accuracy. Sensor Technology Commercial sensor element types include thermistors, thermocouples, thermopiles and diodes. Thermistors, thermocouples, and thermopiles sensors are based upon heat transfer principles. Diodes are not absorption devices.
