The Anritsu MA2410xA Inline Peak Power Sensor measures pulsed and modulated signals with True-RMS accuracy across a wide dynamic range and frequency spectrum. Dual-path architecture enables simultaneous forward and reverse power measurement, making it ideal for transmission line verification without system downtime. The sensor handles CW, multi-tone, and digitally modulated formats including GSM/EDGE, CDMA/EV-DO, WCDMA/HSDPA, WiMAX, and TD-SCDMA.
Two models cover different frequency bands: the MA24103A spans 25 MHz to 1 GHz, while the MA24105A extends to 4 GHz. Both operate from 2 mW to 150 W in continuous mode, with pulse capability to 300 W. Inline, bi-directional design minimizes installation complexity in active systems.
