USB RF/Microwave Power Sensors up to 24 GHz

Agilent's new U2000 Series USB power sensors measure true average power from RF and microwave devices and make set-up fast and simple by providing plug-and-play USB connectivity and by eliminating the need for a separate power meter.

The U2000 Series is an affordable solution that doesn't compromise on performance in multi-channel power measurements and can be used with Agilent's N1918A Power Analysis Manager application software.

U2000 USB Power Sensor Key Features:

  • Frequency range of 9 kHz to 24 GHz (sensor dependent)
  • Wide dynamic range of -60 to +44 dBm (sensor dependent)
  • Simplified measurement set-up, no need for an external triggering module or power supply
  • Internal zeroing capability to eliminate external calibration
  • High measurement speed of up to 250 readings/second
  • Display power measurements on a PC or other Agilent instruments
  • True average power measurement for all signal types, unlimited bandwidth

N1918A Basic Power Panel Key Features:

  • Processes and displays multi-channel power measurements (10+ channels simultaneously)
  • Provides larger, enhanced visual display, including power versus time graph
  • Performs delta and ratio computations between data from two channels
  • Saves and restores instrument settings
  • Stores up to 10,000 measurement points
  • Stores data in comma separated value (CSV) file that is Microsoft Excel Compatible

N1918A Advanced Power Analyser Key Features:

  • Enhanced visualisation with display formats including Digital Softpanel, Gauge, Trace Graph and Strip Chart displays
    • Provides complete 15-point pulse characterisation for peak power analysis
    • Supports overlay measurements and waveform math computations
    • Computes statistical power routines on PDF, CDF and CCDF measurements
    • Stores up to seven days of data from preprogrammed measurement schedules
    • Provides limit and alert function for remote monitoring
    • Offers data logging and timestamp for deviation monitoring and analysis
