Average power measurements for continuous wave and modulated signals

Keysight average power sensors provide precise, reliable power measurements for continuous wave (CW) and modulated signals, making them ideal for wireless communications, radar, and RF system validation. Unlike peak sensors, which focus on transient signals and high-speed detection, average power sensors ensure stable, repeatable measurements across all modulation types. With a wide dynamic range, fast measurement speeds, and seamless meter integration, these sensors deliver the accuracy needed for average power characterization.

Precision across modulations

Delivers consistent, high-accuracy power measurements across both continuous wave and complex modulated signal types.

Stable performance

Maintains consistent measurements over a broad frequency range without drift or variation for long-duration testing.

Balanced speed and accuracy

Captures up to 400 readings per second via GPIB, balancing speed with precision for efficient average power measurements.

Built-in calibration

Eliminates frequent zeroing and manual calibration with pre-stored reference data, reducing downtime and uncertainty.

Frequency range 10 MHz to 6 GHz, 10 MHz to 18 GHz, 9 kHz to 6 GHz
Power range -60 to +20 dBm, -50 to +30 dBm, -30 to +44 dBm, -60 to +20 dBm (1 nW to 100 mW)
Connector type Measurement type
Average/CW only Maximum power
