Calibration cycle Annual*
* Standard calibration cycle of 1 year for reverification, but can be recalibrated
by the customer with an accurate power reference. See the Application note
on TPM calibration at www.birdrf.com
IN-SITU CALIBRATION
World Class first in-situ power measurement standard
Calibrate during operation, while ON-AIR
Never any need to remove from service
which equates to no downtime
Traceable to National Institute of Standards
