These stable and accurate power sensors operate at frequencies up to 46 GHz. They are for use with the 6960B and 6970 Power Meters as well as the CPM 20, 46 Counter Power Meter and the 6200B series Microwave Test Set.

High Measurement Accuracy

High measurement accuracy over a wide frequency range is ensured by low input VSWR - the result of innovative design.

Fully Interchangeable

The sensors are fitted with precision connectors. They have a multiway socket for cable connection to the Power Meter, and are interchangeable.

Small and Lightweight

The small size and light weight of these sensors makes them very adaptable for use anywhere without requiring additional mechanical support.

Rugged Construction

Rugged mechanical construction makes them ideal for both bench and field use. Minimum down-time is ensured by using a pre-calibrated field replaceable RF sensing assembly. Unit lifetime is enhanced by high overload capabilities. Seventeen different sensors are currently available covering a range of frequencies from 30 kHz to 46 GHz. Type N, APC-7, MPC 3.5 and 2.92 mm connectors are available from -70 dBm (100 pW) to +44 dBm (25 W). A 75 Ω sensor is also available.
