Introduction
Anritsu offers the world's most comprehensive range of power meters. The ML2490A series has the performance required
for narrow fast rising-edge pulse power measurements (e.g., radar), while the ML2480A series is suited for Wideband power
measurements on signals such as W-CDMA, WLAN, and WiMAX. The ML2430A series of power meters are designed for
CW applications, offering a combination of accuracy, speed and flexibility in a low cost package.
Also available are five different families of power sensors with frequency coverage to 50 GHz and dynamic range up to 90 dB.
Most of the power sensors can work in either pulsed/modulated or CW mode (the ML2480/90A series meters offer both modes).
In choosing a power sensor, several factors must be considered, including: frequency range, dynamic range and the modulation.
The rise time of the sensor should also be chosen to match the rise time of the modulation.
