Agilent / Keysight E4416A EPM-P Series Single Channel Power Meter

The Agilent/Keysight E4416A EPM-P Series Single Channel Power Meter delivers high-performance RF and microwave power measurements for wireless communication standards and advanced RF testing. It measures peak power, average power, peak-to-average ratio, and time-gated power across complex modulation formats including TDMA, CDMA, and W-CDMA. The instrument operates at a continuous sampling rate of 20 MS/s with measurement speeds up to 1,000 corrected readings per second over GPIB. Its 5 MHz video bandwidth optimizes dynamic range for peak power measurement, with user-selectable High, Medium, Low, or OFF settings.
