Statistical Sensor for Virtual Power Measurement (VPM) via USB on PC for 350-6000 MHz.

Statistical Sensor for Virtual Power Measurement (VPM) via USB on PC for 350-6000 MHz.

Virtual Power Measurement (VPM) sensor via USB on PC for 350-6000 MHz.

• In modern communications, average signal power, although important, is no longer a sufficient control variable.
• These communication signals often require further diagnostic measurements.
• In statistical mode, the power sensor measures the percentage of time the signal exists in a specific peak-to-average ratio.
• In time domain mode, the sensor adds a variety of oscilloscope-like functions to our standard set of measurements.
• The statistical power sensor can be used in all known communication formats and is capable of accurately measuring a wide range of RF measurements for aperiodic signals such as EVDO, UMTS, LTE and HDTV.
• Like all Bird sensors, its calibration can also be traced to NIST standards without the need for field calibration.
