Mini-Circuits’ PWR-8PW-RC is a high performance sensor for any power measurement application from 10 MHz to 8 GHz. The 10 MHz internal modulation bandwidth, coupled with a data processing rate of 20 million samples-per-second, enables measurement of a wide range of analog & digital modulation types. The video output port additionally provides 30 MHz video bandwidth for additional analysis or automatic level control circuits.
The power sensor has USB and Ethernet interfaces, allowing control directly from a PC, or remote power measurement over a network. The software provides peak & average power measurements, statistical analysis (crest factor, duty cycle, rise / fall time) and time domain plots for any signal type, including pulsed waveforms down to 100 ns pulse width and 0.1% duty cycle.
Full software support is provided, including our user-friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems).
