2818A RF Power Standard - Thermoelectric

Active

9 kHz to 18 GHz RF Power Transfer Standard

Built upon proven technologies the 2818A offers new features and advantages in a RF Power Transfer Standard. Utilizing TEGAM’s well established transfer standard techniques applied to a referenced thermoelectric sensor, the 2818A performs faster while retaining excellent performance and accuracy.

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
