Keysight (Agilent) U2054XA 10 MHz to 40 GHz USB Wide Dynamic Range Average Power Sensor

The Keysight U2054XA is a USB-connected average power sensor engineered for precise power measurements spanning 10 MHz to 40 GHz. It delivers a -70 dBm to +20 dBm measurement range with zero dead time real-time acquisition, capturing continuous pulse sequences without data loss. The sensor achieves measurement rates up to 50,000 readings per second, enabling high-throughput RF device characterization across radar, satellite communications, wireless systems, and modulated signal formats including GSM, WCDMA, LTE, and WLAN.

The U2054XA combines wide dynamic range performance with practical lab integration. Its 2.92 mm male RF connector accommodates standard test fixtures. Internal zeroing and automatic calibration routines minimize measurement uncertainty. Time-selectivity average mode with variable aperture duration allows flexible acquisition windows for transient and steady-state signal analysis.
