Berkeley Nucleonics is excited to release our newest line of RF average power sensors: the Model 12100 Series. These versatile and easy-to-use sensors boast an impressive 9 kHz to 50 GHz bandwidth. With a dynamic range of -60 dBm to 26 dBm, these sensors can measure even the most subtle RF signals with industry-leading accuracy. This makes the Model 12100 an ideal choice for any RF application where obtaining true RMS average power readings are critical for project success. Measuring average power on any type of modulation (802.11ac, gsm, cdma 2000, DCMA (IS-95), TDMA, Multi-Tone, OFDM, CW, QAM, etc) has never been easier. Since 1963 Berkeley Nucleonics has provided the highest standard of test and measurement equipment and the Model 12100 RF average power sensor is no exception.
These sensors offer simple, plug and play operation. This means no zeroing, no calibration before use, and no bulky meters and cable harnesses to manage. The Model 12100 sensors can be used with minimal setup time and hassle, saving valuable hours and allowing users to take measurements almost immediately whether they are in a lab or in the field. With a deep internal memory and internal or external triggering, long term data logging is managed elegantly. While at the forefront of RF power measurement technology, our innovative technology will not destroy your budget. We leverage modern components and chip sets which drive down cost. Our new sensor family is compact and rugged, unmatched in traceable power accuracy and yet cost-effective for the budget constraints of our time. Visit the product page for a growing range of options addressing programmatic and embedded applications, SPI and I2C connectivity, a real time clock and more.
BNC PowerEye is an included software package giving users a suite of handy tools. The software is easy to install, straightforward to use and loaded with handy features. Although the 12100 series is geared toward RMS and average power measurement, it can also effectively profile pulsed RF signals. PowerEye allows the user to view a time-domain trace of the signal's power. Included with the software is our comprehensive 12200 series API for full control and integration of power measurements. Furthermore, software at Berkeley Nucleonics is always free. Whether you have needs for large system integration and user specified data inputs/outputs, or smaller, on-the-bench R&D projects, the Model 12100 sensor deserves your consideration. A quick phone call, email or live ‘engineer-chat’ will quickly illustrate why the T&M industry has turned to Berkeley Nucleonics routinely for over 60 years. We look forward to hearing from you.
