The new remote user interface can configure the single sensor input ML2495A and dual sensor input ML2496A so that results and traces can be shown in a larger format on a laptop or monitor, giving design engineers a better view of measurement results to ensure the performance of high bandwidth designs.
With PowerMax, measurement results for up to eight gates can be simultaneously displayed on a monitor. Up to four marker readings can be displayed as well. The software also creates simple configuration tabs so that the power metres can be controlled directly from a computer. Measurement result images and traces can be saved directly on the computer’s hard drive or removable storage, allowing raw data to be recalled and used as reference.
The series has an industry leading 65 MHz mainframe bandwidth. The power metres have a typical rise time of 8 ns with 1 ns resolution, when used with the MA2411B pulse sensor. Single and multi-pulse radar signals can be precisely measured using multiple gates, markers and a suite of dedicated pulse functions.
It measures the peak, average and crest factor of continuous and framed OFDM, and is suitable for WLAN and WiMAX applications.
The dual input instrument solves many of the measurement problems associated with designing and manufacturing amplifiers.
