Power Meters

Power Meters

Anritsu power meters perform analog-to-digital conversion of data from a power sensor, which is then processed on a PC. Power analyzers are an ultraportable, USB-powered solution that enables frequency-based power measurements from 9 kHz to 70 or 110 GHz.

Description

Anritsu offers comprehensive general purpose power meters. The Power Meter ML2430A series are designed for CW applications, offering a combination of accuracy, speed, and flexibility in a low cost package.

Application

ML2430A Series

  • Fully-Featured General Purpose Power Meter. Ideal for CW applications, offering a combination of speed, accuracy and flexibility in a low cost package.
  • Designed for Field Applications. Portable and rugged splash-resistant chassis design handles the roughest field treatment. Add a front panel cover and soft case for further protection. There is also an optional NiMH battery, providing six hours continuous operation.
  • Graphics Display. Provides graphical display of pulsed power or TDMA signals, displaying individual time slots. Frame triggering allows the user to measure the average power across a time slot.

PowerSuite – PowerSuite is free software for the ML2430A series power meters. This software is used to continuously view measurement traces on the PC in real-time or to archive data and plots for future analysis. PowerSuite runs on a standard PC running Windows® 95 or higher via GPIB or RS232.

The ML2430A series Power Meters combines the advantages of thermal meter accuracy (*Requires firmware v2.20 or greater. **For PC requirements, see Technical Datasheet), diode meter speed, and peak power meter display graphics. The result is a single instrument that samples at more than 35K per second and achieves 90 dB dynamic range with a single sensor.

This meter includes graphics display capability as a standard feature. The ruggedized housing and optional high-capacity NiMH battery bring laboratory quality accuracy to field service applications. ML2437A has one input and ML248A has two inputs.

Information

Amplifier Measurements:

Power amplifiers designed for peak applications, whether pulsed or CDMA, cannot operate at full peak power under CW test conditions. The gain and output power can only be measured accurately using a peak power meter under representative conditions.

For the precise characterization of amplifier output power and gain, the Power Meter ML2438A is a true dual channel meter with two independent signal channels that eliminate the need for multiplexing. Gain and output power are measured simultaneously. Fast responding diode sensors respond immediately to changes in power level to reduce total test time.

Return Loss Measurements:

Take advantage of the power meter’s dual inputs to measure the return loss of an amplifier under correct operating conditions.

Remote Monitoring:

The Power Meter ML2430A series automatically calls a pre-entered phone number whenever a limits threshold is exceeded. Just set the limit level, enter the phone number, and connect a modem.
