Peak power meters offer high sampling rate
-- Test & Measurement World, 11/1/2008 2:00:00 AM
By combining a 20-MHz bandwidth with a 64-Msamples/s sampling rate, Anritsu’s new ML2480B series peak power meters can conduct peak-power measurements on wireless and military-communications signals. The new meters target the evaluation of chipsets, modules, handsets, CPE (customer premises equipment), and base stations during R&D and manufacturing.
The two meters in the series are designed to measure average power, peak power, and crest factor, as well as provide statistical analysis of complex modulated signals. The ML2487B supports a single sensor input while the ML2488B supports dual sensor inputs. The dual-channel sensor input and display of the ML2488B allow for the simultaneous monitoring of WLAN and Bluetooth-enabled devices.
The ML2480B series instruments include an Ethernet remote-control interface and an external video port that supports LCD and CRT monitors. A remote GUI called PowerMax provides an enhanced instrument display and streamlines remote control. PowerMax allows measurement results for up to eight gates and up to four marker readings to be simultaneously displayed on a monitor. The software also creates configuration tabs so the instruments can be easily controlled directly from a PC. Measurement result images and traces can be saved directly on a computer’s hard drive or removable storage, allowing raw data to be recalled and used as a reference.
Six families of continuous wave, average, wideband, pulse, and thermal power sensors that operate to 50 GHz are compatible with the ML2480B series.
Base prices: ML2487B—$5270; ML2488B—$6220. Anritsu, www.us.anritsu.com.
