The Marconi IFR Aeroflex 56913/900 is a precision power sensor engineered for accurate RF and microwave power measurements from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. The sensor measures power levels from −30 dBm to +20 dBm (1.0 µW to 100 mW) and connects via a 3.5 mm male connector. Compact at 88.5 mm length and 33.5 mm diameter, weighing approximately 140 g, it suits both laboratory benches and field deployment without requiring mechanical support.
