– Key Features
The 60NF50 delivers high directivity to minimize measurement uncertainty and clarify reflection characteristics of devices under test. Its 50-ohm input impedance ensures compatibility with standard RF test systems. The unit operates across a broad frequency span from 5 MHz to 2.0 GHz, supporting both fixed and swept-frequency measurements. Maximum input power rating of 0.5 W accommodates typical laboratory and field testing scenarios.
– Measurement Capabilities
• SWR measurement
• Forward power measurement
• Reflected power measurement
• Return loss measurement
– Typical Applications
The 60NF50 serves impedance mismatch assessment, component testing of amplifiers, directional couplers, attenuators, filters, splitters, and terminations. It is used for tuning circuits to peak performance, troubleshooting intermittent power behavior, and signal integrity assessment. The bridge functions as a reference standard in scalar network analyzer fault location measurements and RF system analysis.
– Compatibility & Integration
This SWR bridge integrates with RF test instruments for fixed and swept-frequency return loss measurements. N-type female connectors permit direct connection to standard RF test equipment. Anritsu offers compatible N-type adapters and precision RF cables (DC to 18 GHz) to support various system configurations.
