Bird 5017D Wideband Power Sensor

The Bird 5017D is a wideband RF power sensor designed for precise signal analysis in various RF applications. It measures true average power, peak power, and duty cycle, and can calculate other key parameters such as VSWR, return loss, reflection coefficient, crest factor, average burst power, and CCDF. This sensor is suitable for applications across a broad spectrum of modulated signals, including analog and digital cellular, WiMAX, WLAN, and military communications.
