Bird 5010B Directional RF Power Sensor - DB9 Connector

The Bird 5010B RF Power Sensor is the most flexible RF sensor on the market today. With this Dual-Socket, Thruline® sensor, you may select from a wide range of Bird Elements to tailor the unit to your needs over a wide range of frequencies and power levels. Also, select field changeable input and output RF connectors from dozens of types including (N, BNC, HN, 7/16 DIN). Operate your sensor our Bird 5000-XT Digital Power Meter or via a computer with our windows compatible VPM3 Software and RF Meter App.

The DPS measures True Average Power and/or Peak Power with exceptional accuracy that is traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is also a highly economical RF power measurement tool offering reliable results for hundreds, not thousands of dollars.

Applications

• Measurements: Standard elements; true average forward power, true average reflected power, Peak detecting elements; peak forward power
• Calculations: VSWR, Return loss, Reflection Coefficient

Problems/Solutions

Downtime is necessary.

• Monitor and perform maintenance for monitoring while DUT is in-service.
• Measure forward and reflected power to troubleshoot system failures.

Over-spending on unneeded functionality.

• Interchangeable sensing elements.
• USB connectivity, no meter required.
• Complimentary Virtual Power Meter (VPM3) software.

Varying field tech skill levels.

• Sensor plugs and plays with 5000-XT meter.

Need greater confidence In measurement.

• No field calibration required.
• NIST traceable calibration.
