The Agilent/Keysight L2052XA is a LAN-connected wide dynamic range average power sensor for precise measurement across RF and microwave frequencies. It delivers up to 50,000 readings per second with zero dead time measurement capability, enabling continuous pulse characterization. The instrument combines a -70 dBm to +26 dBm measurement range with internal zero and automatic calibration to minimize uncertainty. Variable sampling to 1 MSa/s and up to 1 MB memory support in-depth signal analysis. Time-selectivity averaging enables full dynamic range measurements on modulated signals. N-type male connectors and optional cable lengths from 5 ft to 200 ft accommodate diverse test configurations. Power over Ethernet (802.3at/af compliant) simplifies deployment. Built-in radar and wireless presets cover DME, GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, WLAN, and LTE signals. BenchVue software (BV0007B) automates instrument control and test sequence management.
