The Keysight U2000A is a USB power sensor for precise RF and microwave power measurements from 10 MHz to 18 GHz. It delivers average power readings across a dynamic range of -60 dBm to +20 dBm with measurement uncertainty ≤ 1.9%, eliminating the need for a separate power meter. The compact, lightweight design integrates directly into test systems via USB 2.0 connectivity without requiring external power.
This sensor supports measurement speeds up to 250 readings/second in normal mode and 1000 readings/second in buffered mode. Dual signal paths—low power (-60 to -10 dBm) and high power (-10 to +20 dBm)—ensure accuracy across the full dynamic range. The instrument handles both continuous wave and modulated signals.
