Introducing the U2000 Series USB Power Sensors
The U2000 Series enable simpler,
lower-cost power measurements
versus conventional power meter and
sensor combinations. Now with nine
high-performance models, the U2000
Series USB power sensors offer com-
pact, high-performance solutions for
today’s CW and modulated signals.
Compact “power meters”,
simple set-up
The U2000 Series are standalone
sensors. That means they essentially
operate like power meters, just in
smaller forms. No reference calibra-
tor is required. The fact that each
sensor draws minimal power from a
USB port—and that it doesn’t need
additional triggering modules or
power adaptors to operate—makes
it more portable, especially for base
station testing. Setting up is easy:
just plug it to the USB port of your
PC or laptop—or even select network
or handheld spectrum analyzer—and
start your power measurements.
The figure below illustrates the very
simple, straightforward setup of the
U2000 Series.
High accuracy
Each U2000 Series sensor provides
excellent linearity, SWR and uncer-
tainty specifications, so you can be
confident in every measurement you
make.
Wide range, high power
The U2000 Series’ dynamic range
spans across a wide 80 dB, taking on
high power up to +44 dBm.
Remote monitoring and tests
With the U2000 Series sensor
plugged to a networked USB hub,
you can conveniently monitor power
measurements of an antenna tower
from the control room, beyond the
limits of USB cable lengths.
