Telecommunications Power Meters ML2437A & ML2438A

The ML2437A and ML2438A Power Meters combine the advantages of thermal meter accuracy, diode meter speed, and peak power meter display graphics. The result is a single instrument that samples at more than 35K per second and achieves 90 dB dynamic range with a single sensor. These meters include graphics display capability as a standard feature. The ruggedized housing and optional high-capacity NiMH battery bring laboratory quality accuracy to field service applications. ML2437A has one input, and ML2438A has two inputs.

Features:

• Speed and dynamic range
  The 90 dB range MA247xD Series Power Sensors' high sensitivity reaches stable power readings to -70 dBm. 35 kHz sample rates profile cellular, PCS and other pulsed signals to 0.1 msec resolution. Modern connector technology achieves industry leading return loss for improved accuracy through 50 GHz. The 87 dB range MA244xD Series High Accuracy Sensors further improve return loss performance by adding a matching circuit to the MA247xD Series' front end.
• Fast thermal sensors
  Anritsu's latest semiconductor processing technology produces thermal power sensors with speed increased by an order of magnitude. Improvements in connector technology reduce measurement mismatch uncertainty through 50 GHz to levels previously attained only to 20 GHz. The fabrication technique as well as the ML2430A Series' sampling and DSP technology optimize measuring speed to 4 ms rise and fall times..
• GPIB speed
  Industry leading speed is achieved under a variety of operating conditions including averaging settings, sensor control settings, triggering conditions, operating mode, sensor type, and GPIB interface manufacturer. The ML2430A series offers the ability to measure and transfer a high speed burst of 200 data points using profile operating mode with sampling rates of 35k per second.
