• Flat response across extended bandwidth with controlled compression characteristics
• Rugged 50 Ohm matched design with excellent return loss
• Field-replaceable detector diode modules (except model 560-7VA50)
## Typical Applications
Power measurement and RF signal detection in scalar network analysis, communication system verification, radar component testing, and equipment calibration across microwave frequencies.
## Compatibility & Integration
Designed for use with Anritsu Model 56100A Scalar Network Analyzers and Series 541XXA, 540XXA, and 54XXA Scalar Measurement Systems. Also compatible with Site Master and Cable Mate Series Personal SWR/RL and Fault Location Testers for power measurement functions.
**Connector Compatibility:** Verify mating connector pin depth using an Anritsu Pin Depth Gauge or equivalent to prevent connector damage. Protect the detector from mechanical shock and excessive power input to maintain service life and prevent permanent damage.
