The Boonton 952009 is a 50-ohm terminated RF sensor that measures voltage and power across the 100 kHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range. When connected to compatible Boonton RF voltmeters, it extends their measurement capabilities and enables direct power display in dBm by sensing the voltage drop across its internal 50-ohm terminating resistor. Calibration data stored in the instrument’s non-volatile memory ensures measurement accuracy across the full operating range.
