The Keysight U2002A is a USB-connected power sensor for precise measurement across 50 MHz to 24 GHz. It connects directly to a PC, functioning as a standalone power meter and eliminating the need for separate test equipment. The sensor delivers accurate CW and modulated signal measurements over a wide dynamic range, supporting R&D, production testing, and field installation/maintenance of wireless communication systems.
