The Leeds & Northrup 4300 is a microprocessor-based RF powermeter engineered for simultaneous measurement of multiple radio frequency power levels across ultra-wide frequency spans. This solid-state instrument delivers real-time multichannel measurement capability with field-installable input modules, each independently handling range selection, sensor data processing, and analog-to-digital conversion. The 4300 operates across 100 kHz to 110 GHz, measuring power from 0.1 nW to 2 W. Each channel module incorporates dedicated input amplifiers, A/D converters, and onboard microprocessors for autonomous operation. Host processing collects and integrates channel data for comprehensive RF power characterization in laboratory and production environments requiring precision across multiple simultaneous measurement points.
