The Keysight U2044XA is a USB-connected peak and average power sensor designed for RF and microwave measurements from 10 MHz to 18 GHz. It delivers real-time power readings across a dynamic range of −70 dBm to +26 dBm, supporting measurement rates up to 50,000 readings/second. The sensor performs peak and average power analysis, modulated signal measurement, continuous pulse tracking with zero dead time, and pulse parameter extraction. Internal zero and automatic calibration eliminate manual setup steps. Time-gated and free-run modes enable flexible measurement configuration for both laboratory and field applications.
