Average Power
Diodes and “square law” output is directly proportional to the
average power, which provides the measure of the equivalent
heating power of a signal, as measured with a calorimeter.
The measurement is the total RF power in the system, and
does not depend on the number of carriers or modulation
scheme. The statistical power sensor measures forward and
reflected power so that VSWR, return loss or Rho (reflection
coefficient) can be displayed.
