Mini-Circuits’ PWR-18PWHS-RC peak & average power sensor operates from 50 MHz to 18 GHz with an industry leading measurement range down to -40 dBm in peak mode and -60 dBm in average mode. The 80 Msps sample rate with internal buffer enables up to 120k complete measurements per second. With up to 30 MHz video bandwidth, complex analysis and profiling of pulsed and modulated inputs is possible down to 13 ns resolution.

The compact package includes a rubberized outer case for protection and portability, N-type RF input connector, integrated LCD screen, SMB trigger input / output options and USB / Ethernet control.

The included measurement software for Windows walks the user through the power sensor settings, displays the current measurements and provides powerful data recording and export capabilities. A full API for Windows is also provided, with programming instructions and examples for Windows and Linux systems to set up automated power measurements in a range of common programming environments.

Mini-Circuits has a wide range of high-performance power sensors available on our website. Consider the PWR-18RMS-RC RMS power sensor for applications involving wider modulation bandwidths (>30 MHz) or multi-tone signals.
