The Keysight U2044XA is a USB peak and average power sensor that delivers precise, real-time power measurements from 10 MHz to 18 GHz with a dynamic range of -70 dBm to +26 dBm. Built for both pulsed and continuous wave signals, it captures pulse parameters, modulated signals, and time-gated measurements at up to 50,000 readings per second with zero dead time. The sensor includes 20 automatic pulse parameter measurements with auto burst detection, internal zero and automatic calibration, and average mode time-selectivity for full dynamic range performance. Its N-type RF connector, compact form factor (168 mm × 46 mm × 35 mm), and USB 2.0 interface with optional LAN/PoE connectivity (IEEE 802.3at, up to 100 meters) make it suitable for lab and remote applications. The bundled Keysight BenchVue software provides instrument control, data logging, and visualization without requiring custom programming, plus built-in wireless and radar presets for faster setup.
