The Anritsu ML2495A is a single-input wideband peak power meter engineered for high-resolution characterization of radar signals and complex-modulation wireless systems including 3G, 4G, and OFDM technologies. It delivers precise measurement of transmitter power envelopes with exceptional rise-time performance and sampling resolution. The instrument combines advanced pulse analysis with flexible CW measurement capabilities across a broad sensor ecosystem.

– Key Features
• 65 MHz bandwidth supports accurate rise-time measurement on radar and fast 4G OFDM characterization
• 8 ns rise time with MA2411B sensor enables demanding radar pulse analysis
• Variable percentage reference for rise/fall-time search with gate or max marker baseline
• Latchable failure indication for transient detection in pass/fail monitoring
• Blanking arming mode restricts averaging to active rear-panel digital input samples
