Power Meters & Sensors
MA24218A Microwave Universal USB Power Sensor
The Anritsu MA24218A power sensor is designed to provide fast, accurate average power measurements from 10 MHz to 18 GHz over 80 dB of dynamic range. The sensor employs a patented "triple path" architecture that provides True-RMS measurements (similar to thermal sensors) over the entire frequency and dynamic range, enabling users to make highly accurate average power measurements for CW, multi-tone, and digitally modulated signal up to 18 GHz.The sensor employs high-performance digital processing that enables best-in-class measurements speeds, including >1,600 continuous power readings/s continuous and >11,000 buffered readings/s.
