The Agilent/Keysight U2000H is a USB-based average power sensor that delivers precise power measurements across the RF and microwave spectrum without requiring a dedicated benchtop meter. Connected directly to a PC or compatible Keysight instruments via USB, this compact sensor eliminates the need for external power supplies and enables rapid setup through included software tools. It performs high-speed averaging measurements at up to 250 readings/second, making it ideal for production testing, research, and field applications where portability and direct computer control matter.
