The MA24103A inline power sensor from Anritsu performs peak power measurements from 25 MHz to 1 GHz with a power range of 2 mW to 150 W. A dual-path architecture enables the sensor to carry out true-RMS measurements over the entire frequency and power range. This bidirectional plug-and-play device joins the company’s existing MA24105A peak power sensor, which has a frequency range of 350 MHz to 4 GHz.
Critical markets that require peak and average power measurements well below the 1-GHz range, such as public safety, avionics, and railroads, demand reliable communication between control centers and vehicles. Lower frequencies can propagate a longer distance and maintain communication with fast-moving vehicles. Typically, at these lower frequencies, transmitting signals operate within the watt range, making the MA24103A particularly suitable for such applications.
The MA24103A inline peak power sensor communicates with a PC via a USB connection and comes with PowerXpert data analysis and control software. It also works with Anritsu handheld instruments equipped with optional high-accuracy power meter software (Option 19).
