Inline Peak Power Sensor MA2410xA
Featured Product from Anritsu Company
The Anritsu MA2410xA Inline Peak Power Sensors provide precise average power measurements ranging from 2mW to 150W over a frequency range of 25 MHz to 4 GHz. Utilizing a dual path architecture, they deliver True-RMS measurements across the entire frequency and dynamic range, accommodating CW, multi-tone, and digitally modulated signals such as GSM/EDGE, CDMA/EV-DO, WCDMA/HSDPA, WiMAX, and TD-SCDMA. The forward path includes a 4 MHz bandwidth channel with peak and comparator/integrator circuits, enabling measurement functions like PEP power, crest factor, CCDF, and burst average power. Additionally, the reverse path provides reverse power measurement capabilities, including reflection coefficient, return loss, and SWR. These sensors are complete miniature power meters with an integrated microcontroller, signal conditioning circuitry, ADC, and power supply. Variants include the MA24103A (25 MHz to 1 GHz) and MA24105A (350 MHz to 4 GHz).
