Marconi IFR Aeroflex 6930 – 10MHz-18GHz Power Sensor

The Marconi IFR Aeroflex 6930 is a precision power sensor engineered for accurate RF and microwave power measurements from 10 MHz to 18 GHz. Designed for integration with industry-standard RF power meters and microwave test sets, the 6930 delivers calibrated measurements across a wide dynamic range with individual calibration factors supplied for each unit.

– Technical Specifications

Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 18 GHz

Power Measurement Range:
• Standard: −15 dBm to +35 dBm (30 µW to 3 W)
• Option 002: −5 dBm to +44 dBm (0.3 mW to 25 W)

Maximum RF Input: +45 dBm CW (30 W)

RF Connector: Precision N-type, male, 50 Ω

Physical Dimensions: 104 mm length × 33.5 mm diameter

– Key Features

Each sensor includes an individual calibration label with frequency-dependent calibration factor, 50 MHz reference calibration factor, and linearity factor data. Calibration data can be entered into compatible instruments to enhance measurement accuracy.

The 6930 contains static-sensitive components requiring proper handling precautions. High power measurements produce elevated surface temperatures; exercise caution when handling, particularly with Option 002 configurations.

Maintain RF connectors in clean condition free of mechanical damage. Use a torque spanner when making connections, rotating only the outer locking nut.

– Compatibility & Integration

The 6930 integrates with the following power meters and test sets:
• Aeroflex/IFR 6960A and 6960B RF Power Meters
• Aeroflex/IFR 6970 RF Power Meter
• Aeroflex/IFR CPM 20 and CPM 46 Counter Power Meters
• Aeroflex/IFR 6200 Series Microwave Test Sets
• IFR 6950 RF Power Meter (specific range scales may be required)

Incompatible with the IFR 6960 RF Power Meter.
