Abstract
A power sensor system, assembly and method for use as a power sensor standard in the 50 to 75 GHz frequency range. The power sensing system comprises a housing comprising a dual ridged waveguide impedance transformer, and a resistive component attachable to a back side of the housing. The resistive component comprises a terminating element electrically, but not thermally isolated from a sensing element. The sensing element operates at a constant resistance and is perpendicularly oriented to the terminating element.

A power sensing assembly comprising:
- a housing comprising a standard waveguide interface and a dual ridged waveguide impedance transformer;
- and
- a resistive component aligned with the dual ridged waveguide transformer, the resistive component comprising a terminating element and a sensing element substantially perpendicularly oriented to the terminating element.
A power sensing assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a resistive component attachable to the housing, the resistive component comprising a terminating element and a sensing element electrically isolated from and perpendicularly oriented to the terminating element.
A method measuring power, comprising:
- providing a power sensing assembly comprising a dual ridged waveguide transformer, a terminating element and a sensing element;
- aligning the terminating element and the sensing element with the dual ridged waveguide transformer to achieve good match characteristics;
- isolating the terminating element electrically from the sensing element;
- and
- providing a tuning capability for a matched termination that is independent of the sensing element.
