2818A RF Power Standard - Thermoelectric
9 kHz to 18 GHz RF Power Transfer Standard
With a USB communication port, the 2818A operates without a power meter. Utilizing PS-CAL and a PC for data collection and as a digitized power meter, you retain the benefit of making manual measurement when you want them and collecting power readings automatically when a visual power reading is not needed. Eliminating a separate power meter also means less equipment to calibrate and less space needed on the bench
or in the rack.
The 2818A is EEPROM based with the calibration constants stored within the sensor, eliminating the need for a separate electronic data media. Connect the 2818A to the PC, apply RF power, and read the corrected power level without applying calibration factors separately.
Features
- Operates from 9 kHz to 18 GHz.
- Tyical accuracy of 0.8 to 1.0%
- Fast reading settling time of < 2s
- 0.01 to 10mW typical usable range (-20 to +10 dBm), expandable with attenuators.
- Rack mount option available
- Operates with PS-Cal software
- 3 year warranty
- Assembled in the USA
Benefits
- Excellent calibration standard for power sensors in the 9kHz to 18GHz range
- Increase throughput with less settling time
- Compatible size and PS-Cal software platform allows integration into existing TEGAM systems (software update may be required)
