Mini-Circuits PWR-18RMS-RC USB & Ethernet RMS Power Sensor
Mini-Circuits PWR-18RMS-RC USB and Ethernet RMS Power Sensor provides high-performance measurement of average power levels in a diverse selection of test applications. This cost-effective RMS power sensor operates from 50MHz to 18GHz, detecting input signals as high as +20dBm and down to -60dBm. The compact package features a rubberized outer case for portability and protection, along with an N-type RF input connector, integrated LCD screen, SMB trigger input / output options, and Ethernet / USB control. Measurement software for Windows is included and walks users through the power sensor settings, displays current measurements, and offers data recording and export capabilities. A full API for Windows is also included, with programming instructions and examples. Mini-Circuits PWR-18RMS-RC USB and Ethernet RMS Power Sensor can be fully controlled via Ethernet and USB. The sensor is ideal for testing applications such as 5G FR1, Wi-Fi® 6E, BLUETOOTH®, SATCOM, and more.
