Description
  • These 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz power sensor products feature unmatched 1.95% (+/-0.086 dB) accuracy, a highly compact meter-sensor package, and unprecedented ease of use. PowerSensor+™ products address key aspects of general purpose scalar measurements as well as CW, pulse, and other modulated signal power measurements. Compared to other power measurement solutions, the PowerSensor+™ offers dramatic improvements in overall cost, flexibility, and automated test development time.

    Advantages of the PowerSensor+™ are:
  • Sensors can be added without taking up expensive rack space, and without adding expensive separate meters.
  • Setup time is eliminated and programming simplified because zeroing and reference calibration before use
    is not required.
  • Dramatically improved accuracy (1.95% RSS total error compared to 5% to 10% RSS or more for others). Many
    applications can simply ignore power measurement uncertainty and the corresponding programming associated with error correction.
  • Exceptionally low 1.09 VSWR; impressive compared to sensors offering 1.2 VSWR.
  • Unlike other power measurement solutions, PowerSensor+™ does not incur additional errors from a separate power reference or separate meter instrumentation.
  • These errors often add as much as 1.2% to the total uncertainty of other power measurement solutions and require additional programming as well as additional measurement setup steps.
  • Insignificant harmonic generation and distortion over the entire dynamic range.
  • Choice of connector option (SMA, N, TNC, male or female, etc.) further reduces system errors.
  • Set up and use is easy with USB plug & play connectivity.
    o Stand-alone application for controlling multiple sensors
