Tektronix PSM4320

Tektronix Power Sensor

Tektronix PSM4320 USB Power Sensor, 50 MHz - 18 GHz, -40 dBmt +20 dBm, N-Type

The Tektronix PSM3000, PSM4000, and PSM5000 Series are compact power sensors/meters that deliver fast, accurate RF and microwave power measurements. A broad range of CW and pulse modulation measurements are available, depending on the series you choose. Each meter comes with Windows Power Meter application software for controlling the meter, displaying readings, and recording data. The combination of the sensor/meter and PC provides a complete solution, eliminating the need for a separate, dedicated meter mainframe.
