Anritsu MA24218A USB Power Sensor, 10 MHz to 18 GHz
$3,841.00
Anritsu MA24218A USB Power Sensor
Overview
Because the MA24218A converts analog to digital inside the sensor, it does not need a separate power meter, and it averages over 11,000 readings per second in buffered mode. True RMS detection gives accurate average power for digitally modulated signals with bandwidths beyond 100 MHz.
The sensor is part of Anritsu's MA242xxA Microwave Universal USB Power Sensor family and uses a Type-N male connector. Average power up to +30 dBm is tolerated, so attenuators and couplers can be avoided in many setups.
