PSM4320
USB Power Meter Avg/Peak/Pulse 50MHz 18GHz, N-Type Male
The PSM4000 Series
The PSM4000 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.
No Meter Mainframe Required
With the included power meter application software, familiar meter controls are available at the click of a mouse and readings are presented right on your PC screen. Familiar Windows pull-down menus provide additional controls. Data is immediately available on the PC for further analysis and documentation. The meters communicate with the PC using standard USB 2.0 protocols and cables for plug-and-play ease of use.
Integrate High-speed Power Measurements Into Your Testing
Tektronix PSM Series power sensors feature the industry’s fastest measurement speed (2000 readings/s). This can significantly reduce test times and provide dynamic power measurement information that
was previously unavailable. An included High-speed Logging Application provides a mechanism for getting this data into your PC for analysis. For custom test applications, you can communicate with the sensors using LabVIEW, or using a fully documented API. Example programs are provided for the most commonly used development environments. The communications library allows your program to communicate with up to
12 sensors, eliminating the need for costly switches.Tektronix real-time signal analyzers, arbitrary waveform generators, and oscilloscopes that use the Windows operating system can also be used to control the PSM Series sensor/meter and give you quick access to accurate power measurements. To allow synchronization with other measurement equipment all models include Trigger In and Trigger Out TTL signals. High-speed measurements, extensive programming tools, and synchronization features make these sensors versatile additions to your test setup.
Industry-leading Performance for Demanding Designs
Tektronix power sensors/meters come fully calibrated over their entire operating temperature range. Sensor zeroing and meter reference calibration have been eliminated, reducing setup time and helping to avoid inaccurate results. These meters provide accuracy you can count on for general-purpose CW, peak, pulse, and other modulated power measurements. Whether doing installation or maintenance on a wireless base station, production testing, or R&D for wireless components, the PSM Series products serve these needs with a wide dynamic range (–60 dBM to +20 dBm) and frequencies ranging from 10 MHz up to 26.5 GHz.
Select the Performance/Features to Meet Your Needs
The PSM4000 Series delivers average power(CW) measurements, and adds pulse and peak power measurements for gathering basic data on pulsed RF and microwave signals.
