The Marconi IFR Aeroflex 56924/002 is a precision RF power sensor engineered for accurate power measurements from 10 MHz to 40 GHz. This field-replaceable sensor integrates with IFR 6960 Series and 6970 power meters, CPM 20 and CPM 46 counter power meters, and 6200 Series microwave test sets through automatic sensor recognition and scaling. The unit measures power levels from −70 dBm to −20 dBm with low VSWR and supplied linearity correction data for enhanced accuracy. Housed in a compact 88.5 mm × 33.5 mm form factor weighing 140 g, the sensor features a 2.92 mm coaxial connector and includes a Waveguide 22 to 2.92 mm coax transition with dual calibration tables for waveguide and coaxial measurements traceable to national standards.
