Boonton, a member of the Wireless Telecom Group (www.wtcom.com), introduced at the International Microwave Symposium a new, fast 59318 peak power sensor that is optimized for Boonton’s 4540 and 4500B peak power meter product lines. The new product addresses communications and aerospace applications involving highly dynamic signals with noise-like signal characteristics, fast switching carriers, and pulsed signals.
Model 59318 features dynamic input power ranges from -24 dBm to +20 dBm in peak mode and -34 dBm to +20 dBm in CW mode, with input frequencies of up to 18 GHz. It offers rise time of better than 10 ns and a bandwidth of 50 MHz and is suitable for making statistical measurements to examine signals with noise-like characteristics, which do not permit the use of conventional trigger methods.
The 59318 can also handle very low frequencies, starting as low as 50 MHz. Frequency range is dependent upon which bandwidth the sensor is set to; it ranges from 0.5 GHz to 18 GHz in high-bandwidth mode and from 50 MHz to 18 GHz in low-bandwidth mode. Price is $2395.
