The LBSF09A from LadyBug Technologies is a True RMS Power Sensor that operates from 1 MHz to 9 GHz. This power sensor is designed to provide highly accurate average and burst average power measurements with a fast measurement speed. It has a dynamic range from -60 dBm to +23 dBm and can handle a peak input pulsed power of up to +30 dBm (~1 W). The patented thermally stable technology ensures stable measurements over the entire operating temperature range without user intervention, zeroing or calibration. This patented process also eliminates user zeroing and calibration before use. It can measure power levels on signals of any modulation type, including 802.11ac, GSM, CDMA 2000, CDMA (IS-95), TDMA, multi-tone, OFDM, CW, and OFDM.
The LBSF09A uses LadyBug’s PMA-12 power meter software and allows users to make a variety of measurements from basic average power measurements to complex triggered measurements. This power sensor includes USB HID and USBTMC interfaces and utilizes standard SCPI commands. It is available in a module and it is available with N-type and SMA (male/female) connector options. This power sensor is ideal for radar, satellite, manufacturing, research and development, and EMC applications.
