The Keysight 11792A (formerly Agilent / HP 11792A) is a high-performance sensor module designed exclusively for the 8902A measuring receiver. It integrates a thermocouple power sensor and a low-loss RF switch to enable automatic switching between high-accuracy power measurements and frequency downconversion via the 11793A microwave converter.
