Boonton has introduced a new series of Real-Time True Average power sensors. The RTP4000 series of sensors deliver a dynamic range from -60 dBm to +20 dBm, a frequency range down to 6 kHz and an industry leading measurement rate of 100,000 measurements per second. Built with Boonton's Real-Time Power Processing technology which eliminates gaps in acquisition and provides zero measurement latency, these sensors deliver lightning-fast performance in a compact USB form factor. The True Average capabilities of these sensors enable accurate capture and measurement of pulsed, modulated and CW signals. Unlike many average power sensors, these True Average power sensors go beyond reporting numeric power measurements and provide a pulse profiling trace mode with 175 kHz video bandwidth.
This power sensor series is compatible with Boonton's Power Analyzer Software Suite that can turn any computer into a powerful RF power meter with an intuitive software interface that provides a wide range of powerful measurement and advanced analysis tools. The robust API included with the software suite is ideal for leveraging the 100,000 measurements per second in remote control and ATE environments. Multiple sensors can be connected to a single computer or test system for synchronized multi-channel measurements.
The RTP4000 series of Real-Time True Average power sensors are small, lightweight and portable. They are available in two models, 6 kHz to 6 GHz and 10 MHz to 6 GHz.
