RF DIRECTIONAL WATTMETERS
Multifunction RF POWER ANALYST
®
The ruggedly built, multifunction Model 4391A RF POWER ANALYST
®
features a
digital display, microprocessor-based operation, and simplified, push-button control.
This wattmeter is well suited to C
3
, telemetry, two-way communications, avionics
and radar, as well as standard radio and television applications.
■
Frequency: 0.45 to 2700 MHz. Power: 100 mW to 10 kW
with 20% over-range.
■
Reads forward and reflected CW or FM power in watts or dBm,
Peak Envelope Power of SSB/DSB and symmetrical AM in watts,
and peak power for pulses as narrow as 0.8 µs.
■
Calculates SWR, return loss in dB and % modulation
■
Stores peak and null readings to facilitate adjustment
of maximum and minimum signal levels.
■
Shock-resistant keyboard and range switches. RFI protection.
Built-in international power supply/charger.

MODEL 4391A
Our interface units (IEEE-488 shown above or RS-232) let
you remotely control a POWER ANALYST
®
Wattmeter’s
functions. Either interface requires a 15-pin connector on
the rear of any Model 4380/4390 Series wattmeter. The
connector and internal cabling are installed in a new
Model 4391A POWER ANALYST
®
, or in older wattmeters
having the suffix -832 in the Model number (e.g. Model
4391-832). Any 4380/4390 Series Wattmeter you already
own without this connector can be retrofitted at our plant.
