Description
INTRODUCTIONThe RA1M1000A USB Smart RF power sensors has been designed to provide quick and user friendly way of measuring CW, FM, AM and pulse RF output levels of various RF circuits such as FM transmitters, amateur radios, CB radios, RF amplifiers and similar.
This RF power meter can be used to measure:
•
RF signal between -40 dBm up to +15 dBm (0.1 uW to 32 mW) directly
•
With optional attenuators, RF power levels up to 50 or 100 W (or more with other attenuators)
•
RF power in pulsed mode (great for high power amplifier development)
•
RF insertion loss of various coaxial cables and RF attenuators
MAIN FEATURES
