Keysight (Agilent) U2065XA 10 MHz to 50 GHz USB Wide Dynamic Range Peak and Average Power Sensor

The Keysight U2065XA is a USB-connected wide dynamic range peak and average power sensor for precision measurements spanning 10 MHz to 50 GHz, with optional extension to 53 GHz. Operating across a 96 dB dynamic range from −70 dBm to +20 dBm (−70 dBm to 0 dBm above 50 GHz with Option 053), this sensor delivers up to 50,000 readings per second with zero dead time—critical for pulse characterization in manufacturing and test environments. The variable 1M samples/sec sampling rate and 1M sample memory buffer enable continuous high-throughput acquisition without data loss. Configurable aperture duration from 20 µs to 200 ms with 100 ns resolution supports both fast transient and averaged power measurements across demanding applications including wireless chipset manufacturing, power amplifier testing, satellite payload analysis, instrument calibration, and radar system characterization.
