The Anritsu MA2474A is a high-accuracy diode power sensor engineered for precise average power measurements across RF and microwave frequencies. It delivers a dynamic range exceeding 80 dB with linearity better than 1.8% (typically <1.0% through 18 GHz), enabling stable readings from -70 dBm to +20 dBm. The sensor also measures peak power and crest factor on N-CDMA signals, making it suited for communications, radar, and high-frequency device characterization.
