Bird-5018D 60W Peak Wideband RF Power Sensor

Bird-5018D 60W Peak Wideband RF Power Sensor.Bird offers power sensor solutions for all RF applications, from simple measurements to complex waveforms. Our plug and play solution provides inline measurements displayed on multiple devices, delivering basic to highly accurate readings. Trust Bird for reliable sensor products that meet your unique needs.From simple true-average power measurement applications, to the measurement of the complex waveforms associated with modern communications systems, where peak power or burst power measurement are essential. All Bird RF Sensors are rugged, highly accurate, and provide high value power measurement solutions.The 5018D RF Power Sensor never requires field calibration, only requires calibration once per year and is traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The WPS measures True Average Power, Peak Power, and Duty Cycle directly with exceptional accuracy and uses these precise measurements to calculate a wide range of other important factors, such as VSWR, Return Loss, Reflection Coefficient, Crest Factor, Average Burst Power, and CCDF.
Included Accessories: User Manual, VPM3 - Virtual Power Meter Software and Manual, 10 ft. USB Cable.
