4240 RF Power Meter

4240_left

 

The 4240 series of CW RF power meters provides the high speed measurement capability needed in a production environment, as well as the simplicity of operation required for bench top use. It provides very accurate measurements from -70 dBm to +44 dBm (sensor dependent) and has a rapid display update rate for tuning applications. The easy to read LCD displays both channels simultaneously with numeric and bar graph information.

Key Features

  • -70 dBm to +44 dBm, depending on sensor
  • 90 dB dynamic range, depending on sensor
  • 10 kHz to 40 Ghz measurement range
  • Single or dual-channel display
  • >200 measurements per second
  • Agilent HP 437 & Agilent HP 438,  and Boonton 4220A & 4230A emulation
  • Automatically loads sensor data
  • Simple software control via SCPI language
  • 50 MHz step calibrator
  • IEEE-488 and RS-232 interfaces standard
