Anritsu new inline power sensor MA24103A for applications require precise peak and average power measurements well below the frequency range of 1 GHz.
Anritsu Company has announced the release of its new inline power sensor MA24103A. The new rolled out inline power sensor is known to be designed to measure accurate Peak and True-RMS average power measurements from 25 MHz to 1 GHz and 2 mW to 150 W.
Agencies in public safety, avionics (air traffic control and repair stations), railroads, and other fields must maintain crucial connections between control centers and vehicles.
Several applications require precise peak and average power measurements well below the frequency range of 1 GHz.
The smallest inaccuracy in measuring or maintaining a communication network in these marketplaces could jeopardize public safety or even result in death.
Lower frequencies provide the advantage of being able to communicate across greater distances and with rapidly moving vehicles. Since the transmitting signal’s power typically ranges in the watt range at lower frequencies, the inline power sensor MA24103A is better suited for these kinds of applications.
This highly accurate, Inline Peak Power Sensor communicates with a PC via USB or with an Anritsu handheld instrument equipped with the high accuracy power meter option 19.
Some of the main markets that benefit from this low frequency Anritsu Inline Power Sensor include:
- Broadcast Network and Manufacturer: Lab performance accuracy and low insertion loss over a wide temperature range (0 ºC to 55 ºC), making it perfect for field applications.
- Railroads: to evaluate various systems like Positive Train Control Systems, End of Train (EOT) signals, automated train control systems, and FM voice base stations.
- Avionics: such as Civil and Military Airports for beacon testing, surveillance radar testing, localizer, and marker testing.
