Anritsu Intros Microwave USB Power Sensor with Coverage Up to 26GHz

(Product News, 15 Dec 2009)

Anritsu Co.'s MA24126A Microwave USB Power Sensor can make highly accurate power measurements from 10MHz to 26GHz over 60dB of dynamic range. The sensor employs a "dual path" architecture that provides True-RMS measurements over a broad frequency range and a dynamic range of 0.1µW to 100mW (-40dBm to 20dBm), allowing engineers and field technicians to conduct average power measurements on CW, multi-tone, and digitally modulated signals used in all major cellular and microwave point-to-point (P2P) bands, as well as aerospace and defense applications.

The MA24126A has built-in internal and external triggers, so the sensor can conduct multi-slot measurements of TDD waveforms used in GSM, WiMAX, and TD-SCDMA. The triggering capability also allows the sensor to conduct burst power measurements of periodic and non-periodic waveforms. Its ability to handle +33dBm of power makes the MA24126A ideal for conducting high crest factor signal measurements.
