Boonton 4530 4531 Single Channel RF Peak Power Meter
Tested in full working conditions, this Boonton 4530/4531 Single Channel RF Peak Power Meter delivers precise measurement capabilities for complex digitally-modulated carriers.
Product Overview
The 4531 measures the precise peak and average power of today's complex digitally-modulated carriers and those of tomorrow as well.
Modulation bandwidths up to 20 MHz are within the range of the 4530, making it the ideal choice for measuring CDMA, W-CDMA, CDMA2000, TDMA, GSM, GSM-EDGE, GPRS, OFDM, HDTV, and UMTS with the flexibility to accommodate new modulation schemes in the future.
The 4530 displays periodic and pulse waveforms in graphical format, and a host of automatic measurements characterize the time and power profiles of the pulse. Powerful triggering, effective sampling rates up to 50 MSamples/sec, and programmable cursors provide instantaneous power measurements.
