Bird 5016D 60W Peak Wideband RF Power Sensor
The Bird 5016D Wideband RF Power Sensor is a high-precision instrument designed to accurately measure true average power, peak power, and duty cycle across a broad range from 25mW to 25W average and up to a peak of 60W. This advanced sensor does not necessitate field calibration; instead, it requires annual calibration, and its accuracy is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).Power Measurement: Measures both average and peak power directly with extraordinary accuracy, using these measurements to derive critical parameters including Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), Return Loss, Reflection Coefficient, Crest Factor, Average Burst Power, and Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF).Important Note for Calibration and Performance: (*) Please note that, according to the product specifications, when operating at temperatures above 35°C or below 15°C, an additional 3.0% must be added to all stated accuracies. This applies to the entire "Accuracy-Peak Envelope Power" specification.Set-Up Information: This sensor is part of the WPS Series, which offers a straightforward wideband power sensor setup process.
