GIGATRONICS 8542C Dual Input Universal Power Meter

The Giga-tronics 8542C Dual Input Universal Power Meter combines accuracy, speed, range and measurement capabilities unavailable from any other power meter. Built-in features such as power sweep calibration and frequency calibration provide an unequalled degree of measurement accuracy. The meter can measure the CW, peak and true average power of the complex modulated signals used in EW, radar, and communications systems. The 8542C can automatically measure the average power of pulse modulated signals or pulse signals that are amplitude modulated during the pulse ‘on’ period — such as TDMA (time division multiple access) signals. Achieve 500 readings per second over GPIB. Or use our exclusive fast buffered mode to further reduce processor overhead and capture up to 4,000 readings per second in CW mode. Specifications. Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 40 GHz (Depending on sensor). Power Range: -70 dBm to +47 dBm (100 pW to 50 Watt) (Depending on sensor). Display Resolution: User selectable from 1 dB to 0.001 dB in Log mode, and from 1 to 4 digits of display resolution in Linear mode. Averaging: User selectable, auto-averaging or manual from 1-512 readings. Analog Output (BNC): Provides an output voltage of 0 to 10V. Options. 02, Add 256K buffer for Fast Buffered Mode Power Readings Stores up to 128,000 readings. 04, Rear Panel Sensor and Calibrator Connections. 06, Second Analog Output, -10V to +10 V. 11, Time Gating.

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the GIGATRONICS 8542C. Price does not in most cases include measurement performance data. Pricing does include NIST traceable calibration and issue of a calibration certificate and calibration label. Pricing may vary slightly due to volume and location of laboratory supporting calibration. Volume pricing may apply. On-site fees may apply depending on logistics, location and volume of work to be completed during the visit.

dBm
dBm (sometimes dBmW) is an abbreviation for the power ratio in decibels (dB) of the measured power referenced to one milliwatt (mW). Zero dBm equals one milliwatt. A 3 dB increase represents roughly doubling the power, a 3 dB decrease, the power is reduced by about one half.

Noise Figure
Noise Figure the ratio of the signal-to-noise power ratio at the input to the signal-to-noise power ratio at the output.

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR)
Standing wave ratio (SWR) is the ratio of the amplitude of a partial standing wave at an antinode (maximum) to the amplitude at an adjacent node (minimum).
