The Bird 5011 Terminating Power Sensor (TPS) is a diode-based instrument designed for accurate RF power measurement in coaxial transmission lines. It provides true average power readings for forward or reflected power when used with a directional coupler, or total power in a line when connected to a non-directional coupler. This sensor is characterized by its ease of use, requiring no front-panel calibration and offering a plug-and-play solution for various applications, including cellular, military, avionics, and broadcast systems. The Bird 5011 is compatible with Bird’s 5000 Series Digital Power Meters and Site Analyzers.
